Ingredients
- 1kg/2lb 4oz fresh strawberries
- 1 lemon
- 1kg/2lb 4oz jam sugar
Instructions
- If the strawberries are large, cut them in half. Put the strawberries and lemon juice into a large pan. Heat for a few minutes to soften, add the sugar and stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
- Once the sugar has dissolved and the liquid is clear, boil steadily for about 6 minutes, or until at setting point. To test if the jam is at setting point, spoon a little onto a cold plate, leave for a minute and then push the jam with your finger. If the jam crinkles and separates without flooding back, setting point has been reached.
- Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Spoon into sterilised jars, label and seal with wax paper and a lid.
