Strawberry jam with basil and mint All three bright flavors and aromas perfectly match in this refreshing jam. Lemon nuance is present, but against the background of a strong aroma of juicy ripe strawberries, fresh basil and mint, it still does not feel so. If you cook this jam with a view to procure for the winter, then you need to take sugar in a ratio by weight of at least 1: 1 to strawberries. Cut the leaves of basil and mint should be as small as possible, so they will almost not be felt and create the impression of hard lumps. Fast jam with a minimum of sugar should be stored in the refrigerator, where it can be up to several weeks. This jam is good to add to tea, served with toast, pancakes or a fresh bun.
