Strawberry Jam

Ingredients

• 1 kg (2 1/4 pounds) strawberries
• 225 grams (1 cup) granulated sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash the strawberries and remove the stem.

2. 2

   In a large saucepan, add the strawberries cut into small pieces, sugar and the cinnamon stick.

3. 3

   Mix with a wooden spoon and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 45 to 50 minutes or until thickened (pass a wooden spoon in the bottom of the saucepan and if it leaves a trail like a road, the sweet is ready), stirring frequently.

5. 5

   Turn off the heat and remove the cinnamon stick. Pour the jam into a clean or sterilized glass jar and seal.

6. 6

   Let it cool to room temperature and store the homemade jam in the refrigerator.
