Wow thank you so much for sharing this. I never would have known that making jam could be so easy.
I can’t believe how easy this is. I also can’t believe she doesn’t need to add pectin. Is that because of the ginger?
Hi Christense, you could add pectin if you wanted a thicker consistency, but cooking the strawberries makes them thick enough for jam–no pectin necessary. You can see her “testing” the jam to see if it’s cooked long enough (to see if it’s too runny or just right). It’s not because of the ginger, just that the jam gets thick on its own as the berries cook.
does anyone have any ideas about making jam in both a bread maker and a slow cooker?
