If you are still looking for some strawberry recipes. I’ve got an easy strawberry jam prepared with other fruits like orange, lemon juice and apple. There is no pectin needed for this jam because apple has lots of pectin itself.

I’ve picked many strawberries this year because I was planning to make jams and marmalade. I got about 12 jars filled with yummy organic strawberries. I’m planning to do the same with blueberries soon. Instead of buying jams at the store on winter I will have them here in my home.

The whole process of making a jam isn’t difficult, it only requires some time. Strawberries have to be cooked about 2 – 3 hours. It is also important to realize if the jam will be eaten in couple of weeks or months. If you would like to keep your jam for couple of months on the shelf it requires pasteurization. The boiling process of the jars for at least 10 minutes. I’ve done this with my other just regular jams but for this orange strawberry jam I didn’t do it. I had only 2 jars total, so I’ve decided to keep it my fridge and not pasteurize it. However if you prefer to pasteurization process  of this jam, you can certainly do it. There are lots of tutorials how to do it; just Google it.

I love homemade jams, I can add them to my toast, waffles or pancakes.

    This looks delicious! My only confusion is the orange. So peel the orange, squeeze the juice into the jam and also throw in the rest of the orange. Does it break down in the jam with the heat? Discard the peelings correct?

      Use grated orange peel (from one orange) plus extract some orange juice and add it to strawberries. First I grated orange peel and then I squeezed some juice. Discard the rest. On the third picture it shows what I put in the pot. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
