Early and Uncaptured Jade Pearl Rice with Fingerling Potatoes and Corn; First Attempt at Strawberry Jam underway

I don't have a picture of today's dinner because - well, did we have one dinner? My wife, daughter, and I went strawberry picking (and brought home about 18 pounds of 'Sweet Charlie' and half a pound of 'Early Glow' varieties) shortly after my wife finished working. I knew we'd be back late, so hurriedly put a dish together (thanks to the Instant Pot for enabling "fast food"!) that I served as a snack - but it ended up being my wife's dinner (I ate a bit more later).

All I did was put into the Instant Pot a bit (maybe 1/2 cup) of Jade pearl rice, a vegan bouillon cube, a half dozen fingerling potatoes cut into 3/4" or so lengths, and maybe 1/8 cup frozen corn kernels, and cooked in 6 minutes of high pressure. It was good! I served it on small plates with crackers and tomato slices.

I've never made jams or jellies, but have been thinking of giving strawberry jam a try in my pressure cooker. I found online a strawberry freezer jam recipe that looked good and which I used as a base for experimentation. I also found a low sugar freezer jam recipe and a strawberry and honey recipe that I could replicate with Bee Free Honee.

Here is what I am doing with the first recipe. I used a pint mason jar to measure. Into the Instant Pot bowl I put:

• 3 pints hulled strawberries, with medium sized ones halved and large ones cut into maybe fifths
• 1 1/8 (I was trying a ratio of 1 : 3/8, or a bit under half as much sugar by volume as strawberries) pints sugar (I had to go out to buy sugar as we don't typically have it in stock)
• 1 tangerine, peeled and segmented, with segments cut into quarters
• 1/2 t of finely diced ginger
• About 5 mint leaves, roughly hand shredded
• Maybe 3T of port

I mixed then used a potato masher to gently press the strawberry into a bit smaller pieces. I'm letting it all sit for about a day, and then, according to the recipe, I plan to:

• Use the sauté feature (which I've not used yet) of the pressure cooker to bring the mixture to a boil for 3m, stirring frequently and avoiding splashes
• Close the lid and cook under high pressure for 8m. It's important to realize that the jam could be sucked into the pressure release valve, so I will then give the pot ample time to come down in pressure to minimize that chance, which would require more careful cleanup.
• Back in sauté mode, I will bring the mixture back to a boil for another 3m, stirring.
• I'll turn the Instant Pot off and occasionally stir till the mixture comes to room temperature; setting will complete when the jam is well chilled in the refrigerator.

It should be good!
