When I went to Germany already strawberries actually came from a good piece of time in Italy and I did not have time to make jam before leaving, I sat on thorns for fear exist in the market when we get back.
But it seems that I had norc and immediately after we returned I ran to buy a crate of strawberries. I simply adore them! Besides their wonderful fragrance, I love the shape and color. I am so happy and colorful that it's impossible not to love them.
And as this year I found only very sweet strawberry flavor, could not miss a serving of jam. Although we were not big fans jam and honey, they eat quite often lately so surely coming soon and other recipes.
This time I added my little ginger jam. Not much, but enough to give that little taste of spicy ginger specific.

Strawberries do not hold water never being porous deoarce tend to absorb water and thus lose the scent.
Strawberries cut in small cubes, put them in a roomy bowl and mix them with sugar, grated ginger given juice and zest of a lemon and an apple peeled and grated acid.
Strawberries contain little pectin, which is why it is necessary to add one or two acidic apples to get a tight jam. Contains pectin and lemon And besides this, the lemon juice helps to get a jam with a vivid color.
Let the strawberries in the refrigerator for 12-14 hours. As we leave more, so we get a more perfumed jam.
After rest time, they move into a large saucepan with thick bottom that put the small fire.
