This recipe is so good because it takes only 10 minutes to make (yes 10 minutes).
The flavour is all about the fruit and less about the sugar and you actually see whole strawberries in the mix.
Put into pretty jars, they make wonderful gifts!
3 heaped cups of strawberries (about 500 gms) – it doesnt have to be exact
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
Put all ingredients in a wide shallow pan/ pot on high and cook for about 8 – 10 minutes.
The wider the better as this facilitates quick evaporation and thus quicker jammification.
To test if the jam is ready, freeze a side plate for 5 minutes.
Drop a dolop of jam on the cold plate.
Run your finger through the middle. If the jam stays apart and doesn’t immediately join back together, its jammy enough (I set a timer and find that 10 minutes guarantees jam) At the same time boil the storage jars in a large pot of water – remove and drain
scoop the hot jam into the jars and seal.
Pop the sealed jars back into the boiling water for 10 minutes (this gets rid of any bacteria etc).
Remove from the pot, drain and allow to cool.
