HOW TO CHECK THE CONSISTENCY OF HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY JAM?

• The jam is almost done. To check the perfect consistency, add a drop or two of jam mixture in a small plate of water. If the jam mixture stays as it is without dissolving , you achieved the perfect consistency and Homemade Strawberry Jam is ready . Remove from stove top and let it cool completely.
• In a sterilized Jar fill Strawberry Jam up to the rim of the Glass Jar and turn it upside down and leave it for few hours before storing in a cool and dry place. Turning the filled Jam bottle up side down creates vacuum and helps in preserving the Jam for longer period. The Jam will be good for months ,if it is unopened. Once opened, store it in the fridge . Use clean dry spoon for using the jam.
