Strawberry Ginger Jam (No Pectin)

Indulge in the sweet and spicy flavors of homemade strawberry ginger jam. Made with fresh strawberries and zesty ginger, this jam is perfect for adding a kick to your morning toast or yogurt. Without using pectin, my recipe relies on the natural properties of lemon juice and a little extra cooking time to achieve the perfect consistency. With just a few simple steps, you can create a delicious and healthy spread that is sure to impress.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

In a large pot, take strawberries, sugar, grated ginger, and lemon zest. Squeeze the lemon juice over the mixture and stir well.

Step 2

Add the strawberries and give them a good mix.

Step 3

Heat the pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for about 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Step 5

To check the jam's doneness, perform the spoon test: Dip a clean spoon into the jam and run your finger along the back of the spoon. If the jam leaves a clear path and does not run back together, it is ready.

Step 6

If the jam does not pass the spoon test, continue to cook and perform the spoon test every few minutes until the jam is thick enough.

Step 7

Remove the pot from the heat. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to sterilized clean jars leaving one inch of space on the top. Seal them tightly.

Step 8

Strawberry ginger jam is ready to be stored.
