Instant pot strawberry jam without pectin
A very easy way to prepare homemade delicious instant pot strawberry jam without pectin. Perfect to slather on your breads and pancakes.
Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 300 gms strawberry
- 100 gms Sugar
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
Instructions
- First, we will need to clean the strawberries and cut them into quarters.
- The next step is to add the sugar, mix it well and rest for around 40 minutes.
- This ensures that all the juice from the berries come out and the berries soak in this mixture
- Now add this to the inner pot of the instant pot, add the lemon juice and mix well.
- Close the lid of the instant pot, keep the vent in the sealing position and pressure cook for just 1 minute.
- Let the pressure release normally.
- When you open the lid of the instant pot, you will see a lot of liquid.
- Now, we will need to mash it with a potato masher and again saute it for 10-12 minutes.
- The sauteing is done till most of the liquid evaporates and the jam has thickened
- The right consistency for the jam – It should be a slurry and not runny. It forms a wrinkle on the surface when tilted. This is the perfect consistency
- Once completely cool, transfer it to a clean bottle and store it in the refridgerator
Notes
- The amount of sugar can be reduced to 75 gms for this measure of strawberries if the berries are sweet.
- Do not skip the lemon juice
- Check for consistency after 10 minutes of sauteing. Keep stirring in between
- Saute 2 more minutes if there is still some liquid left
- This can be stored for a very long time in the freezer
