During the new crown epidemic, I stayed at home and wanted to find something to do. Think of the strawberry season. Why don't you make some strawberry jam. So I immediately drove to Baihe Town in Qingpu (where strawberries are very famous). I bought 4 jin of strawberries and used half of them to make strawberry jam. Strawberry jam is sold outside. There are many additives in the ingredients, such as gum, sodium citrate, ascorbic acid and so on. Think about it. The shelf life is 18 months. How can we get rid of these additives? We only make strawberries, lollipops, sugar and lemons. They are delicious and healthy.
Step1:Soak the strawberries in salt water for 15 minutes. Remove and rinse with water. Dry.
Step2:Use a knife to cut the strawberries into two halves. Put them in the pot (the pot should be absolutely clean and not greasy). Put one layer on it. Sprinkle with white sugar. Then sprinkle with white sugar. Cut the lemon. Squeeze in the lemon juice. Leave for an hour. There will be moisture at the bottom.
Step3:Put the pot on the stove. Put in the lollipop. Light the fire. After boiling, cook slowly with a small fire. Stir slowly with a spoon or chopsticks. Do not make the bottom knot. It will take about 40 minutes.
Step4:Use a spoon to skim the foam. After about 40 minutes, use a little more fire to collect the juice.
Step5:Take the heat to bottle (the bottle must be clean. It's better to boil it with boiling water first). Tighten the bottle cap. Turn it upside down. Cool it and put it in the refrigerator. It can be kept for about 10 days.
Step6:Big and small bottles. Several bottles. ha-ha.
