Ingredients

  • 2 pounds strawberries , stems removed and sliced (907 grams)
  • 2 ½ cups granulated sugar (500 grams)
  • ¼ cup bottled lemon juice (60 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon rose water
  • 1 vanilla bean , split lengthwise

Instructions

  • Combine the crushed strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and rose water in a large saucepan and place over medium-heat. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently and skimming any foam from the top.
  • Reduce heat and simmer. Add the vanilla bean. Continue to cook while still stirring frequently until thick and gelled, about 20-30 minutes.
  • Remove vanilla bean pod. Spoon jam into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and cover with sterilized lids and rings. Process in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes. Make sure the water covers the jars completely, and that it is boiling for the entire processing time.
  • Let cool to room temperature before removing rings and storing.
