Instant Strawberries spread/ Quick strawberries Jam/ Strawberries Caulis

Instant Strawberry spread/
Quick strawberry Jam/
Strawberries Coulis
Hi Friends,
You can call it anything. As its similar to all these things like jam/caulis/spread. Its a instant accompaniment to jazz up your simple roti, bread or some cake or pudding. If you or your kid are a strawberry fan then you will love it. Red color of this spread looks awesome and adds color to a simple boring dish. Like i got bored to give my kids same chapati roll smeared with tomato sauce and potato or any other veggie. 

When i made this my son saw the color and said mammy color is very yummy :) . I have seen this caulis recipe in so many blogs and wanted to try it. I tried it with my own instinct and result was awesome. Its a very good option to your regular mix/pinapple jam /orange marmalade. I put this as chapati roll in my kids box to have it after lunch as sweet. I made a small chapati to make roll. You can pack them as wrap also to have it in lunch. So choice is yours. 


Ingredients:-

Strawberries-10 big or 1 cup chopped
Sugar- 1 tbsp
Lemon Juice- 1 tsp optional see notes

Method:-
Take some red juicy strawberries

clean and wash them properly

Now all you need is chopped strawberries + sugar

add sugar in chopped strawberries

mix them well and cover and leave for 5 minutes

after 5-7 minutes see how they leached out juice

now put them in a pan and start heating

it will start boiling

let it boil on medium heat

and boil

see now its thickening

almost done

DONE
It will become more thick after cooling down

READY TO USE

I LOVE ITS COLOUR

 I had it with strawberry pudding cake (recipe soon)
combo was heavenly




or use it as spread on bread/roti

i made this chapati roll for kids breakfast

Notes:-

  1. For more faster method make puree of strawberries and proceed with the method. But i like it bit chunky with some strawberry tit bits so chopped them in small size. So choice is totally  up to you.
  2. You can let the strawberries marinate for 5 to 15 minutes or even in hurry you can skip this. So this step is optional but highly recommended.
  3. You can adjust the sweetness of this coulis/jam/spread according to your liking.
  4. Add more sugar if strawberries are sour and you want to hide that taste.
  5. If you want sour taste and strawberries are sweet not tart then add 1 tsp lemon juice after it cools down.
Hope you will like it

Orange Jam, Within 30 min, Zero oil Recipes,

Orange Jam/
Within 30 minutes/
Zero Oil Recipes

Hi Friends,
Slowly oranges are disappearing from the market. I like this fruit  and its colour very much. I also love its marmalade and jam. I love colorful things. Bright colors are my favorite. Since long i wanted to try this jam but was scared that how the bitterness of its peel and seeds would be removed from it. So went through lot of blogs and after searching so much i came to know that bitterness can be reduced by adding lemon juice it also act as preservative. Then i went ahead and made this jam. I was not aware that it was such a easy recipe to try. Only thing is there are few points which needs to be followed while making this jam as small negligence can ruin your jam. Once you will set your hands on this yummy spread then it would be really a breeze to make it. It took hardly 30 minutes to make this jam. 
I enjoyed it as spread on bread. Kids also liked it. This time i made it in small quantity. Next time i will make it in large quantity. You can use this jam for ice cream, shakes, cake filling or topping, pie etc. This is healthy too as no preservative is there. Its lot more cheaper then market jams which are full of chemicals. So guys try your own jam and enjoy oranges anytime of the year. Hope you will like it.

Ingredients:-
Orange - 1 kg
Lemon- 1
Sugar-1 cup

Grab your ingredients

Notes:-

  1. Its advisable to remove seeds and white threads from orange segments before purring them. There would be less chances of jam become bitter.
  2. Jam become more thick after cooling so keep an eye on the consistency.
  3. Wash hands after peeling the oranges as bitterness of peel can ruin your jam.
  4. Add lemon juice at the end when jam is completely cooled down. mix well and store well.
  5. You can add whole lemon ad the the end after cooling down jam completely.
  6. Keep plate in freezer to check the consistency.  Every time you need to check, take it out check and put it back in the freezer.
  7. Cook orange juice for 10 minutes and check the consistency if not done then cook again for two minutes and check again. Repeat the process untill you get the right consistency. 
  8. Adjust the quantity of sugar, if oranges are sweet then you can add less sugar according to your taste.
  9. You an also juice the oranges in your juicer to lessen the work of purring and sieving, then directly start heating it.  
  10. Preferably store jam in serialized glass bottle or container and keep in the fridge.

HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT
