Strawberry Jam - Simple Recipe with 5 kg of Fruit When you have a lot of strawberries available, you can turn them into a jam that clearly showcases the fruit's flavor. The recipe below uses 5 kg of strawberries, 2 kg of sugar, and one lemon. The amount of sugar can be adjusted depending on how sweet the strawberries are, as specified in the basic recipe. Quick Info Total Time: not specified in the source recipe Preparation Time: not specified Cooking Time: not specified Servings: unspecified; the final amount depends on the reduction of the jam during preparation Difficulty: unspecified Recipe Type: strawberry jam, prepared for preservation Ingredients 5 kg of strawberries 2 kg of sugar 1 lemon The amount of sugar is not necessarily fixed. If the fruit is very sweet, less can be used, and if they are tart, the 2 kg in the recipe will better balance the flavor. The recipe does not specify an exact amount for the juice or zest of the lemon, only mentioning one whole lemon. Preparation Method The source recipe provides the ingredients but does not include the steps, boiling time, or packaging instructions. To avoid altering the recipe and introducing details not present in the original version, the preparation method cannot be completed with exact times or techniques without further information. The order of ingredients is as follows: 1. Use 5 kg of strawberries. 2. Add 2 kg of sugar, noting that this amount may depend on the sweetness of the fruit. 3. Use one lemon. The transmitted version does not specify the steps for washing and cleaning the strawberries, the time the fruit sits with the sugar, the boiling duration, when to add the lemon, or how to check if the jam is ready. Additionally, there are no mentions of sterilization and storage conditions for the jars. Why I Make the Recipe Often The recipe has a short list of ingredients and emphasizes strawberries. The sugar is adjustable, allowing the jam to be tailored according to the fruit used. The lemon is the only additional ingredient mentioned and complements the composition without changing the character of the jam. At the same time, the quantity is large: 5 kg of strawberries are suitable for a batch intended for preservation, not for a dessert prepared on the same day. Since the recipe does not specify the final amount obtained, it will depend on how much the preparation reduces during cooking. Tips Choose the most aromatic strawberries and consider their taste before determining the amount of sugar. The recipe indicates 2 kg but clearly states that the ratio may depend on how sweet the fruit is. Since 5 kg of strawberries are used, it is important to consider the capacity of the pot in which the jam is prepared. The source recipe does not indicate a type of pot nor does it specify if the entire amount is cooked in one batch. The lemon appears in the ingredient list as a whole fruit. It is not specified whether only the juice, zest, or both are used, so this detail must be established based on the version you want to follow. Substitutions The recipe does not offer substitutions for any ingredient. To maintain the taste and proportions of the original version, the ingredients are strawberries, sugar, and lemon. Sugar is the only element for which the source mentions a possible adjustment. It is not a substitution but a reduction or maintenance of the amount depending on the sweetness of the strawberries. Variations No variations are indicated in the basic recipe. No other fruits, spices, or aromatic ingredients appear, so any modification would represent a different recipe. You can maintain the basic ratio mentioned in the source: 5 kg of strawberries to 2 kg of sugar and one lemon. If you use a different amount of fruit, the transmitted recipe does not provide a separate calculation for the other ingredients. Serving Ideas The recipe does not specify serving methods. Strawberry jam can typically be used as a breakfast spread or as an addition to desserts, but these uses are not part of the original instructions. For an accurate presentation of the source recipe, it is sufficient to mention it as strawberry jam made from fruit, sugar, and lemon. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I use less than 2 kg of sugar? Yes, the source specifies that this amount depends on how sweet the strawberries are. For very sweet fruit, the amount can be adjusted. However, the recipe does not indicate a minimum limit or an exact alternative ratio. 2. How much lemon is used? One lemon is mentioned. It is not specified whether the juice, zest, or both are used, nor the timing of adding it. 3. How long should the jam be boiled? The cooking time does not appear in the source recipe. An exact interval cannot be indicated without adding information that was not transmitted. 4. How many jars come from this amount? The number of jars is not specified and cannot be accurately determined from the ingredient list alone. The final amount depends on the reduction of the preparation and the volume of the jars. 5. How is the jam stored? The source does not include instructions for sterilizing jars, sealing them, or storage conditions. For this recipe, the preservation method used alongside the original version should be followed if additional information is available. Nutritional Values The values below are estimates and refer to the entire quantity of ingredients, not to an exact serving. The recipe does not specify the final yield or serving size. For 5 kg of strawberries and 2 kg of sugar, without calculating the lemon's contribution: Calories: approximately 9,300–9,500 kcal for the entire amount Carbohydrates: approximately 2,350–2,450 g Proteins: approximately 35–40 g Fats: approximately 10–15 g Fiber: approximately 95–105 g, mainly from strawberries Most of the calories and carbohydrates come from the added sugar. The values for 100 g or for a tablespoon cannot be accurately calculated without knowing how much the jam weighs after preparation. Storage and Reheating The transmitted recipe does not provide details on storage, sterilization of jars, or shelf life. These pieces of information cannot be accurately filled without altering the source. No instructions for reheating are mentioned either. If the jam is prepared for preservation, the cooling method, jar sealing, and storage conditions must be established according to the method used in preparation. The most important detail missing from the original recipe is the cooking time, as it directly influences the consistency and final quantity obtained.
