Seriously this is so easy to make that you will be kicking yourself for not having had a go before. The end product will be guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and goes great with Scones or just liberally smothered on a hot buttered crumpet. I’ve added just a splash of balsamic vinegar to bring out the sweetness of the Strawberries and a hint of vanilla intensifying this taste experience. If you are going to jar it then increase quantity sizes and save for later use as back up in your cupboard.
Take the ends of the strawberries and quarter them. Toss them into a saucepan and add the sugar and lemon juice. Allow to stand for 90 minutes.
Heat the contents in the saucepan to a boil, stirring continuously and allow to cook for 10 minutes burning of excess water before reducing to a simmer for about 30 minutes or until 2/3 of the liquid has evaporated.
As it cools the jam will thicken if to much just add some water until you get the right frequency.
