Okay – so the two punnets of strawberries we’d acquired to date became 6 punnets today. Faced with a glut of strawberries, and only so many strawberries a person can chow down, the decision to make ready the jam pan was made. The recipe used was as follows:<\/p>\n

Strawberries with pectin enhanced sugar.<\/strong>
\n(Makes 3-4 jars, 455g – 1 lb) – (Type of Set: medium)<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fresh strawberries: 800g \/ 1\u00be lb<\/li>\n
  2. Jam sugar: 1kg \/ 2 lb<\/li>\n
  3. Water: none<\/li>\n
  4. Knob of butter<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Preparation <\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/strong>
    \nClean     \"\"<\/a><\/strong>jars in a bowl of hot water to which has been added a small<\/strong> drop of washing up liquid, rinse under a running tap. Leave to stand on some clean kit<\/strong>chen paper towel, tops down.
    \nSet oven to its lowest setting, place jars, right way up onto oven tray and p<\/strong>lace on middle shelf.
    \nHull and wash strawberries, place in pan, using potato masher or liquidiser crush fruit into a pulp. Heat slowly, and pour in sugar, stirring continuously until dissolved. Add knob of butter still stirring, increase heat and bring to a rolling boil. Now start timing, do not boil longer that the time recommended, usually four minutes. Skim off scum with slotted spoon.
    \nAllow to cool for 15 – 20 minutes to prevent fruit rising. Pot, cover and label.<\/p>\n

    Jaime our friend happened to be staying over and helped Suz with the washing up of the jam spoons – how kind.<\/p>\n
