Homemade strawberry jam

Overview

Spring is the harvest season for our local strawberries. It is also the season when strawberries from greenhouses in neighboring cities are off the market. Our local strawberries are slightly sour. But in neighboring Longkou City, the taste of strawberries is sweeter than sour. When I got home from get off work that day, I saw strawberries on sale in Longkou. The fruits were small and the price of ten yuan and three pounds was really tempting. These small strawberries are really good for making strawberry jam. They can be put in whole. Because they are very sweet, the amount of sugar does not need to be too much. Ten yuan of strawberries makes quite a lot of jam, two bottles are packed, and there are no preservatives, sourness or thickening agents. It makes people feel at ease when eating it. I spread it on toast for breakfast and my son likes it.
