STRAWBERRY REFRIGERATOR JAM

Steps:

• Put the vanilla seeds and pod in a heavy, nonreactive skillet. Add the sugar, orange juice and cardamom pods and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
• Add the strawberries to the skillet and stir once to coat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and jam-like, 20 to 25 minutes. (The longer the mixture cooks, the thicker the jam will be after it cools.) Remove from the heat and let cool before using. Discard the cardamom and vanilla pods before serving. (The jam will keep refrigerated for 2 weeks.)

STRAWBERRY-LEMON REFRIGERATOR JAM RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Wash, stem and chop the strawberries. In a medium saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, lemon zest and juice, and salt. Let sit 15 minutes so the berries start to release some juice, then use a potato masher or wooden spoon to crush them. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Cook, using the spoon or masher to continue crushing berries, stirring frequently and thoroughly to prevent scorching. Mixture will foam, then the foam will subside and the jam will get dark and thick. Jam is ready when the mixture reaches 220 degrees on an instant read or candy thermometer, about 20 minutes of cooking time. Transfer to a lidded jar and refrigerate up to 1 month or freeze up to 1 year.
