Strawberry and Rose Water Jam with Vanilla Bean
Not your average strawberry jam, this recipe includes rose water and vanilla bean for a fun and flavorful twist.
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.
