Ingredients
- 800 grams Strawberries
- 600 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons White rum
- 1 packet Pectin
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
Step 2
Place the strawberries in a large pot and mash them lightly with a potato masher until they release their juices but still have some texture.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and lime juice to the pot with the strawberries and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
Step 4
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 5
Once boiling, lower the heat to maintain a gentle boil and stir in the lime zest and the pectin according to the instructions on the pectin packet.
Step 6
Continue cooking and stirring for 10-12 minutes until the mixture thickens. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
Step 7
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the white rum. Taste the jam and adjust as needed (e.g., adding a bit more lime juice for extra tanginess).
Step 8
Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
Step 9
Seal the jars tightly with lids and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation, or refrigerate and consume within 2-3 weeks if not canning.
Step 10
Let the jars cool completely on a towel-covered countertop. Check the seals before storing.
