Delight: Strawberry jam with basil

Ingredients

  • 2 kg of strawberries
  • 500 g of honey
  • 500 g cane sugar
  • 1 small bunch of basil

Preparation

  • 1. Melt the honey and sugar in the pot.
  • 2. When it boils, add the strawberries, peeled (if necessary) and pre-peeled.
  • 3. Cook over high enough heat. It is better to cook the jams quickly.
  • 4. Remove the foam that forms on the surface. Rene does this during cooking, to prevent it from turning into fruit, he says.
  • 5. When the mixture reaches 105 ° C (221 ° F) on the sugar thermometer, it is ready.

note

Another way to check if the jam is ready is to put a little on a very cold plate, which comes out of the freezer e.g. Place the dish in the cold for a few minutes. We take it out, cross our finger in the middle to separate the jam and if it remains well separated it is ready.

Potting

  • Fill the jars with the jam leaving a space of 1 cm below the edge.
  • 7. Insert 1 or 2 basil leaves (previously washed and dried) into each jam jar, using a knife.
  • 8. Insert the cap and screw in firmly.
  • 9. Return the jam jars to the oven for 10 minutes at 110 ° C (230 ° F).
  • 10. Remove and allow to cool.

Two-way Quebec strawberry toast

Are you pouring olive oil on the bread? It is a widespread practice on the Mediterranean peninsula. In Spain, in the morning, we then add honey or tomatoes to our toast, for example. Claudia Pharand, co-founder of Olive & Olives, was inspired by this tradition by adapting it to Quebec, with strawberries from here.

Ingredients

  • Slices of your favorite bread
  • A “green fruit” olive oil with a light taste, like Olive & Olives # 1
  • Strawberry compote, ideally made at home or bought in the store
  • Fresh strawberries from Quebec, cut into slices
  • A chocolate coating, such as dark chocolate and artisanal olive oil by Olive & Olives

Preparation

  • 1. Bake the slices of bread in the toaster.
  • 2. Sprinkle each slice with a little olive oil.
  • 3. In the first toast add strawberry compote.
  • 4. In the second slice of bread, coat it with chocolate and then add the strawberry slices.
  • 5. Enjoy it with a good coffee!
