What each ingredient does
- Strawberries
- Supply the fruit, flavor and body that the jam is built from.
- Granulated sugar
- Sweetens the jam and helps it thicken and set as it cooks.
The step that matters
Stirring constantly while boiling. Fruit and sugar mixtures stick and scorch easily on the bottom of the pan during a long boil. Constant stirring spreads the heat evenly and protects the flavor and color of the jam.
