When I make strawberry jam at home, sometimes the color of strawberry jam is a little black, but the main reason is that the pot is wrong.

If the strawberry jam is cooked in a metal pot such as an iron pot or a aluminum pot, the fruit acid of the strawberry jam will react with metal ions such as iron and aluminum during the cooking process, which will lead to the blackening of the finished strawberry jam and generate low-iron compounds, which will have an impact on human health. Strawberry jam is not recommended. If the strawberry jam is not black, it is recommended to use casserole or stainless steel pot.

For blackened strawberry jam, it is generally not recommended that you continue to eat it, because blackened strawberry jam is cooked in an iron pan. During the boiling process, the fruit acid in strawberry reacts with iron ions in the iron pot, which turns strawberry jam black, and the reaction will generate some low-iron compounds, which will affect the health after eating. Especially for children with incomplete organ development, eating too much may lead to acute iron poisoning, which is generally not recommended.
