how much do i add to make strawberry jam?

I use 10 grams per 500 grams strawberries (hulled weight), 700 grams caster sugar, 180 ml water. Scale up or down as appropriate. I normally make many kilos of strawberry jam/preserves and for above quantities use about 50ml redcurrant juice (high in pectin) extracted from my small crop to add to the hulled strawberries. You can also experiment with preserving and jam sugars. If you grow your own strawberries it is up to you how you use them. I don't grow them any more but know when to go to the market to get them when remaining shelf life is short... Wonderful bargains to be had but they have to be jammed in 24 hours. Be prepared for trial and error...

Reviews

P**.

A super quality thickener

This is an excellent product and one that I use regularly in the kitchen. Provides a tasteless thickened texture and that is quite unlike gelatine or a jelly producing product. Can be used on literally anything that is in a liquid state so easy to thicken fruit juices into clear gels without any of the texture from pureeing, or thicken gravies more easily than cornflour etc as it dissolves and is incorporated more evenly... It does take a little time for the product to become fully hydrated and to final consistency, so whilst it states 'instant' it isn't actually quite that fast... Give it a few minutes to act and then recheck consistency before adding more otherwise you risk overdoing it... A little goes a long way so good value for money too...

Very good product.

The media could not be loaded. Instead of buying very expensive jam sugar, I used this product combined with ordinary sugar this year, and it worked well. It is easy to use and it doesn't change jams' taste or colour and changing the amount of pectine, I could choose how thick or runny jams I'll have. I'll definitely suggest this product.
