Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed blood orange juice from about 2 blood oranges
  • 1 cup pureed strawberries
  • 1 tsp classic powdered pectin
  • enough sugar to equal the weight of the strawberries

Instructions

  • Prepare the strawberries. Weight them out. Add equal amount of sugar by weight.
  • Allow the berries to macerate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Remove the zest from 1 orange
  • Juice enough blood oranges to get to ¼ cup of juice. Add to the strawberries.
  • Heat a large/wide frying pan over high heat.
  • Pour in the fruit mixture. Add 1 teaspoon of pectin
  • Place a plate into the freezer.
  • Bring to a boil. Continually stirring until the jam thickens about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Place a little bit of jam onto the plate in your freezer. Place back in the freezer, wait 1 minute. If the jam does not move on the plate, then it's done. If it seems too runny still cook it a bit longer and try again. You can add 1 more teaspoon of pectin if you think it needs it.
  • Store the jam in the fridge or freezer once it has cooled down to room temperature.
