This year, I was making strawberry jam with Santa Maria strawberries almost every weekend! Now, it's September. The season of strawberries is ending. Before it completely ends, I made the strawberry wine jam that we can use for the savory dish. It was so good! If you are still able to get fresh strawberries, please try to make it. You won't regret it!

| Strawberry Wine Jam |
Ingredients:
2 1/4 pounds (1020g) strawberries
1/3 pound (340g) organic sugar
375ml Petite Sirah (red wine)
1/2 lemon
(option: 1/2 vanilla bean, split & seeded)
Direction:
1: Wash strawberries and remove the tops. If the strawberry is big, cut in half. Combine the strawberries in a large pot with organic sugar and Petite Sirah.
2: Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Crush the strawberries with the masher, but not completely. It's good to have some texture of strawberries in the jam.
3: Skim the scum (foam) off. Repeat steps 2 and 3 a couple times.
4: Clean the jars in the hot water. (Use the canning method if you are planning to keep the jam longer than a month.)
5: When the strawberry jam is cooked down to less than half (probably about 45min cooking), squeeze the lemon in and stir. As an option, scrape the vanilla beans with the knife and put in the jam to finish. The jam is soft set.
6: Ladle the hot jam into the hot jars.
7: Put the new clean lids on and that's it! I recommend to keep them in the fridge and use up within a month. For saving a longer time, please follow the canning method.

This delicious strawberry wine jam can be used for savory dishes. We put some on grilled chicken breasts. It was very tasty! It goes well with cheese, rolls and vanilla ice cream. Please enjoy!
