Strawberry Jam
Who has spare strawberries?
I had a few spare strawberries yesterday that somehow had managed not to be eaten. I decided to make a jar of strawberry jam that I could use for my Victoria Sandwich Cake. You really can't beat a fresh jar of home-made jam. The taste, the smell OOOOOOOOOOOOO just love it!
How to Make Jam
Hull and slice the strawberries into a large pan - I use my preserving pan (even for a small amount).
Cover the strawberries with an equal amount of sugar (I use Jam Sugar which has added pectin).
Cover and leave overnight until the sugar has dissolved and the fruit is quite soft.
Heat the pan and bring to a rolling boil for about 5-6 mins - stir with a wooden spoon.
Test if the jam is set by putting a small amount onto a cold plate. The jam will wrinkle when pushed.
Pour the hot jam into warm, sterilised jars.
I just had enough for 1 jar of jam.
