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!
