Recipe

Gently wash the strawberries in water, then remove the stems.
Drain the strawberries and crush them by hand, leaving some small chunks of fruit.
In a sufficiently large, deep coated pot or an enameled cauldron-style pot, combine the crushed strawberries and raw sugar, and mix well.
Place over high heat and once it starts boiling, stir with a spatula to prevent sticking to the bottom. Be careful not to let it boil over.
After it starts boiling, continue to stir over high heat for 15 minutes to reduce. If foam forms and it boils up, do not adjust the heat; keep it on high.
When the jam drops heavily from a spoon in thick drops, turn off the heat. If you want to add more sugar, add it at this point and boil further.
Let the finished strawberry jam cool completely, then transfer to sterilized glass jars for storage.

Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and crush them roughly by hand.
Put the strawberries and raw sugar in a pot and boil over high heat for 15 minutes, stirring.
When it reaches a thick consistency, turn off the heat, let it cool, and transfer to jars.

Cooking tips

If you remove the stems before washing, water can get inside the strawberries and reduce their sweetness, so always wash first, then remove the stems.
Use a sufficiently large, deep pot to prevent boiling over, and use a coated pot or an enameled cauldron-style pot to prevent sticking.
To reduce sweetness further, you can use only 200–250g of raw sugar, but the color and viscosity will be weaker and the shelf life shorter, so consume quickly. For a thicker jam, you can increase the raw sugar to 400g.
If the strawberries are fresh, leaving them at room temperature for about a day to ripen will make them sweeter.
