I make strawberry jam every year in the spring, but it's a shame that the berries disintegrate if you cook them for a long time. So I figured out a way of retaining the shape of the berries by staggering the cooking times for the berries and juice.Small berries are better suited for this recipe.The jam will thicken when it's cool due to the pectin, so stop cooking when it's still a little liquid.

Without fail, I make this every year when small strawberries go on sale, This simple recipe that uses only 3 ingredients has been in our family for a long time! Even though it's easy, it gets great mileage. We use it on bread, scones, and in sweets.The key to maintaining the fresh red color is to simmer it on medium heat for a short amount of time. Please be sure to carefully remove the scum. It makes all the difference in the result. Recipe by Toiroiro

Its strawberry season!!! Found a nice package of strawberries at the market for 99 cents each and thought to myself why not make some preserve.Also u can interchange the strawberries to anything else you would like as a jam

This is a light strawberry preserve that can be made quickly whenever you feel like having it. I wanted to make something for when you're on a diet and want to eat something sweet without stressing about it.Make this when you get a lot of strawberries but don't have time to make a proper jam. You can also freeze the jam for later.-Small berries will cook through faster.-If you have very sour strawberries, add 1 more tablespoon of artificial sweetener (or granulated sugar).-Unlike regular jam, this one does not keep well, so store it in the refrigerator and use it up as quickly as possible. For about 200 g; approximately 110 kcal. Recipe by vegeful

The cheap small-sized strawberries appear on the market around when the harvest season for the larger strawberries come to an end.I buy them in bulk and cook them and freeze them to get ready for the summer dessert time.If you continue to microwave the strawberries with the lid on, it will boil over. So take the lid of when you microwave the second time.I recommend using the Dererara sugar since it does not dissolve easily and prevents the mixture from boiling over.Separating the juice and the fruits will prevent over cooking, so you can enjoy them both.

I often make this blueberry jam.I always guess the recipe amount, but I went blueberry picking, so made a note of this recipe.-When you stir with a wooden spatula to prevent scorching, be careful not to break the blueberries.-Please adjust the sugar amount to your taste.We often use the preserves for French Toast, so we make it with 60~70 g of sugar.

We have a cherry tree in our yard, so I make this every year. Adjust the sweetness to taste.If you cook the cherries for too long they will become discolored, so just simmer them for about 20 minutes quickly over medium heat. Recipe by Yukijirushi.

Drinking yuzu jam in hot water will warm you up and revitalize you. Since it's hard to find in stores, I made my own.For those who dislike the bitterness of yuzu peels, you can soften it by pre-boiling them. Recipe by cocoloko

By the end of the summer I usually end up with more baby tomatoes than I can manage to eat so this preserve brings a bit of the garden flavour for the long winter evenings.

The home farm harvest from 2023 is all preserved, and traditionally, after eating so much for the Holidays, between Christmas and Mardi Gras Day 2024 is when all foods that were preserved in 2022 should be eaten, used and discarded if suspect. Some foods, however, had a bad harvest and we will continue to use them till the new crop is in, as long as we feel it is safe.

I prepared this preserve back in October as all the pears were starting to go off and plan to use them as part of my Christmas eve fruit salad.
