Jam is such a simple thing to make and make lots of to keep in your press. When we popped into Hurleys Bros this morning we could smell the fresh scones baking in the oven. So, we had to do them justice by making our own Strawberry Jam to go with them. Along with presenting them on another beautiful board from Caulfields Country Boards. With Strawberry’s in season you have no reason not to give this a try.
Ingredients
• 16oz fresh strawberry.
• ¾ cup of sugar.
• 2 tbsp lemon juice.
method
- mix strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan.
- Stir over medium heast until sugar is dissolved.
- Once sugar is dissolved turn heat to medium high and bring mixture to a rolling boil.
- Stir mixture frequently while mashing the strawberries as you stir.
- Continue to boil the mixture until the jam is thickened and bubbles completely cover the surface of the jam (can take up to 10-12 minutes).
- Once ready transfer to a jar and leave to cool at room temperature.
