Strawberry First: 10-Minute Skinny Jam
Back in Sweden, suitcases still to unpack and a pile of work to do, I could not resist buying the first (for me at least) Swedish strawberries of the season and make them into jam.
Swedish strawberries arrive later than other varieties, and are far sweeter and juicer than any strawberry I have ever had. Some say that this is due to the chilly Swedish spring which makes for a slow ripening and concentrates the flavor. Whatever the reason, I thrive in Swedish berries, and strawberries come first. Lot of canning to do this summer.
This is my own interpretation of strawberry jam. Instead of chemicals it uses lemon juice to increase acidity (bacteria do not like acid environments) and algae (agar-agar) for thickening. Only a small amount of sugar (fruit content 80%) is needed. Also, having fridges and freezers at hand, we can save ourselves the hassle of the traditional long cooking and complicated canning, and spare more of the nutritional value of the fruit. Vitamin C is in fact destroyed after 15 minutes of cooking. So here you go, 10-minutes low-sugar strawberry jam.
You need
680g strawberries (4 1/2 cups)
150g caster sugar (3/4 cup)
1 1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon agar-agar
1 vanilla pod (or 2 teaspoon vanilla extract)
How to
Prepare the strawberries: wash and rinse them and cut in medium-small pieces
Cook: place in a pot and add the sugar. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Stir a couple of times, then wait until a light foam forms and remove it with a skimmer. Cook for no more than 10 minutes, counting from the moment the strawberries boil. On the last two minutes of cooking, add the agar-agar and the lemon and stir. Put the seeds of the vanilla pod in the jam or add the vanilla extract and stir.
Can: as you want. This jam can be stored for 1-2 weeks in a air-tight container in the fridge, or stored for up to 1 year in the freezer. I generally save 1 jar for the fridge, and the rest I divide among small plastic containers which I then freeze. Once unfrozen, the jam is good to eat for one week, kept in the fridge.

I never thought of using agar-agar! Great idea!
thank you Mimi. had a box in the pantry for ages and only now I am learning how versitile it is. ciao!!
I’m a great fan of jams of all kinds- but as I do not like them cold out of the frigde I use more sugar, and pektin which is a natural thickener as well….. your jam looks really appetizing!
hi there Ninive! thank you. I see but… once a jar is open you will have to keep it in the fridge anyway, or not?
no, they keep well in the pantry. And I don’t put heaps on my breakfast bread or waffle….
🙂
With nice sweet strawberries, it is a good idea to use less sugar – I still am waiting for the real fruit 😉
bellissima la marmellata di fragole…. io con tutta quest’acqua quest’anno no ho volgia di marmellatare….. l’agar agar è uno spettacolo, concordo!

What a great idea using Agar Agar. I will have to steal that! We have had such a bad Spring here that the Strawberries are really late. I have not had a single one from the garden yet! But if as you say of Swedish ones, the same will apply to ours this year as it has indeed been chilly and they are late. Here’s hoping! x
This sounds so tasty and I love the vibrant color! And what a great idea using agar to thicken. This looks perfect of a fresh piece of morning toast… Yum… Thanks so much for sharing with Made with Love Mondays and welcome to the series!
I made something similar last year using the jam I ate in Norway many moons ago as an inspiration. It is delicious!
Oh my goodness, this looks like a fabulous recipe. I can almost taste the strawberries. I’m going to give this a try this weekend after hitting the farmers’ market (we should have great strawberries here too based on our very cool spring). Bookmarked!
I’ve never used agar agar…must give it a try. Your strawberry jam sounds wonderful…I’m sure the smaller amount of sugar lets you enjoy the strawberry flavor better.
Can I can in sterile jars for the pantry shelf?
Hi Dawn, no, I would not do it: there is not enough sugar and the jam is not cooked long enouogh for proper canning. this easy to make jam needs to be refrigerated nad eaten within a couple of weeks. ciao!
