Strawberry jam - ASMR

INGREDIENTS

500 g strawberries sliced
3/4 cup caster sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
zest from one lemon
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the strawberries into a saucepan and cover with the sugar, lemon juice and zest. Massage the sugar and juices into the strawberries with your hands and leave to sit for 1 hour or until as much as the natural juices have been released. This is macerating.
Place the saucepan on a medium heat and bring to the simmer. Leave to cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally or until the jam is at a consistency you like. If you like your jam smooth, use a potato masher to mash up the strawberries.

You will not need all of the jam for this recipe. Store the remainder in a sterilised jar and keep in the fridge for up to 14 days.
