Strawberry jam in a multicooker - the basic principles of cooking
Cooking jam in a slow cooker is not much different from the traditional method. The only difference is that there is no need to constantly stir and control the whole process. Enough to lay all the ingredients in the device, close the lid and wait for the right time.
The berries are sorted out, dented and rotted clean. Then washed and put in a saucepan multicookers. They are poured with sugar and left to let the berries make juice. Sugar takes as much as berries. But if you do not like too sweet jam, you can add less sugar.

Strawberry jam in a slow cooker is boiled in “quenching” or “yoghurt” modes for two hours. It should languish, not boil. This method of cooking allows you to keep the berries whole.
