for 6 dl

Jam

500 g	strawberry, cut into pieces
250 g	preserving sugar (Coop)

How it's done

Jam

Place the strawberries in a pan, add half of the preserving sugar, bring to the boil then boil fast for approx. 2 mins., stirring constantly. Add the remainder of the preserving sugar while stirring, then boil for a further 2 mins. Skim off any foam.

Test to see if the jam has set

Spoon a small amount of the hot jam onto a plate, leave to cool. If it is no longer runny and forms a thin skin after a short while, it has achieved the right consistency. If not, continue to boil briefly and then test it again.

To fill

Ladle the jam into the clean, pre-warmed jars while still boiling hot, fill the jars to just below the rim, seal immediately. Briefly upend the screw-top jars, leave to cool on a towel.
