What do you do with those strawberries that are still in the 'fridge but no one is eating? Make strawberry jam! It's really fast and easy, requiring only 4 ingredients -- fresh strawberries, sugar, gelatin and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
This is a perfect topping for ice cream (shown above), cake, fresh fruit, or your morning croissant or brioche.
Ingredients
1 pint fresh strawberries
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 envelope powdered gelatin
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Process
1. Mix ingredients in a non-stick saucepan. Turn heat on medium to medium-low.
2. Let simmer for 1/2 hour, stirring frequently and adjusting heat if needed.
3. When it is the desired consistency, pour into non-reactive (glass) bowl and allow to cool.
4. Refrigerate.
Post-script: We have tried this both warm, immediately after preparation, on ice cream, and cold, the next day, on croissants. It is much better warm! Discard after two days.
