Small Batch Strawberry-Blood Orange Jam
How to make a small batch of jam with strawberries and blood oranges. This is fridge or freezer jam recipe, not meant for canning.
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.
