Recipe for Strawberry Jam
Ingredients
900g (2 lb) fresh strawberries, hulled
800g (1 3/4 lb) caster sugar
4 tablespoons lemon juice
Preparation method
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, crush the strawberries with a potato masher.
Add sugar and lemon juice. Stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to high, and bring the mixture to the boil. Boil, stirring often, using your jam and sugar thermometer until the mixture reaches 105 C..
Transfer to hot sterile jars, leaving 1cm (1/2 in) headspace, and seal. Process any unsealed jars in a water bath. If the jam is going to be eaten right away just refrigerate.
Perfect with scones and cream. And tea for two!
