Strawberry Jam

Tesco was selling off strawberries today - they were perfect - so I thought "JAM"

Jam made - cooling in jars, scones also cooling - husband and son drooling - make them wait I say!!!

Just in case you want to give it a go - here is the recipe for the jam......


900g (2 lb) fresh strawberries, hulled
800g (1 3/4 lb) caster sugar
4 tablespoons lemon juice

1.In a heavy bottomed saucepan, crush the strawberries with a potato masher. 2.Add sugar and lemon juice. Stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to high, and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil, stirring often, until the mixture reaches 105 C.
3.Transfer to hot sterile jars, leaving 1cm (1/2 in) headspace, and seal
