First Attempt

At homemade strawberry jam. (Thanks for the recipe and encouragement cakescakescakes. I will link to you later but on the iPad just now :)

It is delish! Had it for breakfast on hot buttered toast and will have some more this afternoon on pancakes with step dad John and Auntie Maisie, who are coming for lunch.

Rushing out the door just now to see my GP who will (hopefully) refer me and my gammy knee to orthopaedics. Fingers crossed.

Be back later to see what you've been up to.

Jam Recipe

Equal quantities of strawberries and jam sugar. Cut up strawberries and mash slightly and warm in a big pan. Add the sugar and stir till it dissolves. Add a knob of butter and then bring to the boil while stirring. Once it's fully boiling stop stirring and let it bubble away for 4 mins. Take it off the heat and let it settle for 15-2o mins, skim the top of any frothy stuff and then pop in jars.
