Our strawberry jam with a selection of other homemade jams
If you make this jam you’ll never go back to shop bought again. It’s so easy and tastes amazing. I’m lucky as my mum grows her own strawberries so we always have loads, and what better way to use up freshly grown fruit. This is another of my mum’s recipes and she always has lots of jar for us to enjoy -hooray!
You need to soak the strawberries overnight in order for them to infuse with the flavours of the gin and it’s just a case of boiling them with sugar and lemon juice and you have jam.
I love mine on toast or vegan crossiants or swirled into porridge for breakfast. How do you like yours?
Ingredients
600g strawberries
50mls gin
600g granulated sugar
Juice of half a lemon
Method
Hull and chop the strawberries and cover with the gin. leave this to soak overnight.
Once the strawberries have marinated in the gin add them to a heavy based large pan
Add the sugar and lemon juice and slowly bring to boil
Boil for about 15 minutes (if you have a thermometer it will need to each 220C)
Place into clean, sterilised jars once cooled
The jam will keep for a least 6 months unopened and stored in a dark, cool place, eat within 6 weeks once opened and keep in the fridge.
If you do make this then I hope you love it
