I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Hull strawberries and chop roughly. Add to bowl
Core apple and chop roughly (leave skin on). Add to bowl
Add lemon juice and sugar to bowl
Place simmering basket on lid to reduce splatter
Cook 35 minutes, Varoma temp, speed 1.5
Note:
check how well jam is set by placing 1 tsp of jam on a plate and putting it in the freezer for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, if you run your finger through the jam, it should stay separate. If too runny, cook at varoma for 5 minutes - repeat until correct consistency is reached.
I've also created a variant for a mixed berry jam if you're looking for more flavour!
Strawberry Jam
Tip
If you add the sugar last, you shouldn't get problems with the jam catching on the bottom of the bowl
Granny Smith or Pink Lady apples work well. Others may also work, but I haven't tried them. If you try another variety, be sure to let everyone know how it worked in the comments!
This quantity makes just under 1 standard jam jar (mine 3/4 filled a Cottee's 500g jam jar)
This recipe is an amalgamation of a number of recipes, however the method comes from Tenina's recipe (//tenina.com/recipes/strawberry-vanilla-jam). Thanks Tenina!

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

First time making Jam in my Thermie. Did exactly to the recipe and turned out perfectly for me. Look forward to 'summer' in Melbourne to make apricot jam! Thanks for a great recipe.
My grandchildren love this jam. It is a great recipe. I only added 150g of sugar and that was perfect.
Delicious. Check after 25 mins as mine was very thick by then.
DONT double the recipie!!!! Huge mess....tastes great though 😂
I just made this jam, threw in some blueberries as I was just short of the strawberry quantity. OMG it is so good! I used Natvia instead of sugar and worked out perfectly. This is going to be a regular here! 😋
Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. Simple, easy and really, really delicious. I also reduced the sugar to 150g.
Delicious.
Made almost to recipe.
Only added 150gm sugar, added a few slivers of lemon skin.
Cooked for 30 mins.
All set after testing on plate.
Great recipe, best that I have found. I reduced the sugar to 140g and used half large Granny Smith and half gala apples.
I used the reverse at .5 speed, less splash and works perfectly with similar texture as the other method
Excellent! I used half strawberries that I had had stored in the freezer and half a bag of supermarket frozen raspberries. It was about 630gms of fruit which didn't seem to overcrowd the TM31. I added about 20 grams more sugar. I also used the lemon pips in the mix as I believe the pectin in the pips helps with setting. Cooked at Varoma but did watch carefully and used the steamer basket just in case. Didn't burn but put the ingredients in as directed.
Will make again.
So amazingly easy to make jam in the thermomix. Thank you for this recipe. I cooked it on 105 degrees and it was perfect and no splattering. The mystery was where did the apple skin go????
