How to make Strawberry Jam in just 6 easy steps!

It also makes a fantastic, super-cheap, seriously impressive gift. Why? Because people love jam and, for some reason, everyone thinks making it is really hard.

Get the Ingredients

2kg Strawberries
2lg Preserving Sugar
Juices of 13 Lemons

Hull the Strawberries

Hull the strawberries and place them in a non-reactive bowl (stainless steel, china or glass). Sprinkle over the sugar and lemon juice. Leave in the fridge overnight.

Chill then Heat

Put a small plate in the fridge to chill. Tip the contents of the bowl into a large, heavy-bottomed pan and heat gently until all the sugar has dissolved. Turn up the heat and boil vigorously for 5 minutes.

See if Jam Starts Setting

Turn off the heat and test for setting point. If jam is not setting, bring it back to the boil for 2 minutes and retest.

Cool and Skim

Once setting point has been reached, allow to cool for 5 minutes, then skim off any scum.

Jar and Seal

After a further 10 minutes, put the jam into sterilized jars.

Finally, Enjoy your jam!
