Features of cooking strawberry jam in a slow cooker
The main difference from the standard way is that in a slow cooker do not weld a large amount of berries. At one time you can use a maximum kilogram-one and a half berries.
Jam turns out more liquid than on the stove. This is due to the valve that holds moisture inside. But it is easy to fix if you add a thickener bag to the main ingredients. For example, a gelling mixture of Gelinka, made on the basis of pectin, can be used. The jam will be thick and shrouded, and the components of the additive will not affect the "naturalness" of the finished dish.
