How To Make strawberry jam with orange zest
-
Step 1In 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.

Step 2When 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.
