Strawberry Jam in Instant Pot
Around 2 cups
Ingredients:
- 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Method:
- Wash fresh strawberries and chop them roughly. Add chopped strawberries and sugar in an instant pot. Mix well and keep it aside for 25-30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, add lemon juice and mix again. Put the lid on into sealing position. Press manual for 1 minute on high setting. After 1 minute, let the pressure realese naturally. As the pin drops, open the lid. Mix everything with the spatula. Press cancel.
- With the help of a potato masher, mash all the strawberries. The mixture should look like a puree. Turn on the saute mode and let it cook on high for 6 minutes.
- Put a glass plate or saucer in a freezer for 10 minutes. To check if the jam is properly done, drop a teaspoon of mixture on a plate. Place it in a freezer for a minute. If the mixture sticks and it is not runny, the jam is done.
- Turn off the saute mode and press cancel. Let the mixture cool down completely. Transfer the jam into sterilized jar or bottle.
- Keep it in a refrigerator.
Notes:
- Since the recipe is not using any preservative, you have to keep the jam in a refrigerator.
- You can make this recipe on a stovetop. The time will be different but the taste will be the same.
- I used sugar according to the sweetness of strawberries. You can always adjust the measurement.
