Last but definitely not least, we have these Pasta Frolla Christmas Jam Cookies. Made with butter, flour, and jam, they’re a simple yet delicious treat that you can enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee on a cozy winter evening.
Ingredients
To make this Christmas jam, you will need the following ingredients:
1 kg of fresh strawberries
1 kg of fresh raspberries
1 kg of sugar
1 lemon, zest and juice
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Preparing the Fruit
Start by washing and hulling the strawberries and raspberries. Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size. In a large pot, add the strawberries, raspberries, and sugar. Mix well and let it sit for about an hour to allow the fruit to release its juices.
Cooking the Jam
After an hour, add the lemon zest and juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until the jam thickens.
Testing for Doneness
To test if the jam is done, place a small plate in the freezer for a few minutes. Take it out and drop a spoonful of the jam onto the cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, then the jam is ready. If not, continue to cook for a few more minutes and test again.
Jarring and Storing
Once the jam is done, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. In the meantime, sterilize your jars and lids by boiling them in water for a few minutes. Carefully pour the jam into the jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars to ensure a tight seal and cover them with the lids. Let the jars cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.
Enjoying Your Christmas Jam
This Australian Christmas jam is perfect for spreading on toast, scones, or even using as a topping for ice cream. It also makes a great gift for friends and family during the holiday season. Make sure to label your jars with the date and store them in the refrigerator after opening. Happy holidays and enjoy your delicious homemade Christmas jam!
