Strawberry grape jam

The taste of strawberry grape jam will conquer everyone. Try it on bread or to fill a tart and you won't regret it.

Homemade jams have a completely different flavor, let's face it. Often, however, only the most classic are prepared, forgetting about recipes such as strawberry grape jam. This is a real shame because the most particular and genuine flavors are lost, obtained with simple but at the same time little considered ingredients.

Strawberry grape jam (yes, it would be more correct to call it that way as you well know by now), is perfect for giving tarts a special touch, but nobody forbids you to enjoy it spread on bread for breakfast . The preparation is slightly different from what we are used to, but we can guarantee you that our strawberry grape jam recipe will still be amazing.

How to make strawberry grape jam

1. First, remove the strawberry grapes one by one from the bunch and put them in a colander to wash them. Look for a seedless variety, otherwise you will have to cut each grape one by one to eliminate them.
2. Then transfer them to a saucepan and cook over medium heat for 20-30 minutes or until they begin to fall apart and release their juice.
3. Pass everything through the vegetable mill and put the liquid obtained back on the heat. If you don't have a vegetable mill, you can also take a sieve, place it over a bowl and pour the strawberry grape mixture, mix well to separate the skins from the pulp and the juice and eliminate the waste.
4. Return the liquid and the pulp to the saucepan, add the sugar , the peeled and diced apple and the juice of half a lemon.
5. Leave to cook for 40 minutes , stirring occasionally.
6. Blend the strawberry grape jam with the immersion blender (in case there are any pieces) then do the saucer test : drop a few drops on a cold saucer, tilt it and check that it stops dripping rather quickly.
7. Pour the still hot jam into the sterilized jars and close with a new cap.
8. Turn them upside down and let them cool completely before transferring them to the pantry to create a vacuum.

Strawberry grape jam with powdered pectin and some advice

Alternatively, you can prepare the strawberry grape compote with pectin, which is already found naturally in apples and that is why you often use it to thicken jams. To make it, just add a bag of pectin (the classic fruit pec) and remove the apple. Furthermore, to be sure that the American grape jam has no seeds, you must remember to pass everything through a vegetable mill once cooked. The end result will be smooth and less rustic, but at the same time you won't find even an annoying seed in your mouth.
