Confitures with the addition of agar-agar are good because in the absence of prolonged boiling and without a large amount of granulated sugar, a thick texture can be achieved. We also suggest using agar-agar for making strawberry jam. For aroma and vibrant color, we will use vanilla extract and lemon juice.
Servings - 500 ml. ready-made jam approximately.
Ingredients
Cooking process
It is convenient to cook the jam in a wide, thick-walled container: the risk of burning is minimal, and the boiling area is extensive. Rinse the strawberries thoroughly in running water, remove the sepals. Place the washed berries on a clean towel and let the excess moisture evaporate after washing. Place the prepared berries in a clean cooking container. They can be left whole, or you can cut them into halves.
The strawberry has let the juice out - you can put the future jam on the cooking stove. Before that, add vanilla extract for flavoring. Bring the strawberries to a boil over medium heat. After boiling, squeeze lemon juice into it - this will preserve its bright color. Cook the jam for fifteen to twenty minutes. After that, add the soaked agar-agar, stirring it well again before that. After adding, stir and bring the confiture to a boil. Done - can be removed from the stove.
Bon Appetit!
