Strawberry Jam With Orange Zest Recipes

STRAWBERRY ORANGE JAM

Steps:

• Inspect 8 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust; discard any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until strawberry jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Wash, hull, and crush strawberries in a bowl. Measure berries; you should have about 5 cups.
• Scrub oranges well under hot running water and pat dry with paper towels. Zest oranges; place zest in a bowl and set aside. Peel oranges and remove all white pith. Divide oranges into segments and remove any white fibrous membranes and seeds. Chop oranges finely and mix into the bowl with the zest.
• Place crushed strawberries and orange-zest mixture in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in pectin and slowly bring mixture to a full rolling boil. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil on high heat and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Skim off any foam with a ladle or a large spoon.
• Pack strawberry jam into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any spills. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars. Gently press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

STRAWBERRY JAM WITH ORANGE ZEST

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine pectin with ¼ cup sugar; stir to mix. In a large pot, add strawberries and zest; sprinkle pectin mixture. Set the heat to medium-high, stirring often.
• When strawberries start getting soft, using a potato masher, crush them to desired consistency (release natural pectin); cook for 10 minutes. Add remaining sugar, stir well, reduce heat to medium and bring it back to a full boil, skimming the foam on top; cook 5 minutes.
• To know if it's ready with a desired consistency; dip a metal tablespoon in ice water for a few minutes. Dry it off and scoop some strawberry jam. Let it cool at room temperature and if sets up, it's ready. Process with canning procedure. Makes 6 jars of 250ml.

STRAWBERRY-ORANGE CHIA JAM

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add orange juice, sugar, and orange zest. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• Add chia seeds and stir to combine. Simmer until jam starts to thicken, about 5 minutes more. Use a potato masher to break up large pieces for a smoother texture. Cool completely; jam will continue to thicken as it cools. Pour into the jar and refrigerate.

SPICY STRAWBERRY ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, add fresh diced strawberries, strawberry jam, orange juice, granulated sugar, minced ginger, balsamic vinegar, orange zest and sriracha.
• Stir the ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender, process until the consistency of the sauce is nice and smooth. If not using it right away, pour the sauce in a small saucepan and keep it warm until needed.

STRAWBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Chill two small plates for testing jam.
• In heavy 5-quart pot, combine 6 cups strawberries and sugar. Using potato masher, crush and mix fruit. Set mixture over moderate heat, bring to boil, and cook, skimming and stirring frequently, 10 minutes. Add lemon juice and 2 to 3 tablespoons water. Lower heat to moderate, maintain gentle boil, and cook, uncovered, skimming and stirring frequently, another 20 minutes. Remove pot from heat and test jam for doneness: drop spoonful onto chilled plate and refrigerate 1 minute, then tilt plate; jam should remain in soft mound and run slightly. If jam is very runny, return pot to heat and continue boiling 10 minutes, then re-test.
• When jam reaches proper consistency, stir in remaining strawberries, Campari, and orange zest. Cool to room temperature before serving with Buttermilk panna cotta

RASPBERRY-ORANGE ZEST JAM

Steps:

• Place a few small plates in the freezer. Stir berries, sugar, lemon juice, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon zest in a large, heavy stockpot. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar and mashing lightly with a potato masher. Skim foam from surface. Cook, stirring more frequently as jam thickens, until it has the consistency of very loose jelly, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Remove a plate from freezer; drop a spoonful of jam on it. Return to freezer for 1 to 2 minutes; nudge edge of jam with a finger. It should hold its shape. If jam is too thin and spreads, return it to a boil, testing every minute, until done.
• Strain about half of the jam; discard seeds. Return strained jam to pot; stir in remaining teaspoon zest. Return to a boil. Remove from heat. Spoon hot jam into hot sterilized jars; cover immediately with sterilized lids.
