STRAWBERRY JAM.

Right from the start ... I confess, I am a convert, I do cream served with jam on top!!! It's the only way. This is the classic fragrant strawberry preserve for you to make, which can can served as a jam or stirred through plain yoghurt for breakfast, and really easy if this is your first attempt at jam. Ingredients....1 kg of strawberries, 900gm of castor sugar, juice of 2 lemons. First hull the strawberries( remove the green bits), and layer the strawberries and sugar in a large bowl. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and leave overnight on your bench. The next day pour the strawberries and juice into a large pan, add the lemon juice. Gradually bring to the boil and boil for 20 minutes. Then remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Stir the jam before pouring into sterilised jars, filling them to the top. Cover with disks of baking paper, do not seal with lids until the jam is completely cold. Great way to preserve summer in a jar.
