Ingredients
Number of persons: Several
Preparation
- Choose ripe strawberries. Wash, discard the blemishes. Hull and cut into chunks (leave wild strawberries or the smaller ones whole).
- Squeeze the juice of the lemon.
- Put the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a jam pan, stir well and leave to macerate for a few hours.
- Bring to a simmer. Cook 7 minutes (with pectin sugar) from boiling point – or 15-20 minutes with caster sugar. Cook over high heat, stir frequently.
- Check the jam is cooked by pouring a few drops on a cold plate, then tip the plate. The jam should run gently.
- Skim off the foam, ladle immediately into the Le Parfait jam jars, turn the jars upside down for one minute, then flip over and allow to cool.
- Don’t forget to label your jam jars!
