Strawberry and Redcurrant Jam Ingredients: 900 g redcurrants, de-stalked 900 g firm, just ripe strawberries 2 kg caster sugar, warmed 3 tbsp lemon juice Cooking Instructions: Prepare the berries and place in a preserving pan. Add the lemon juice and put in the sugar. Heat and stir gently to draw out the juice and dissolve the sugar. Do this over a low heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, boil quickly until setting point is reached. You can use a jam thermometer or test by dropping a little jam onto a cold plate. Leave it for a minute and then draw a teaspoon across the jam – if the jam crinkles, setting point is reached. Skim any scum off the top. Pour into hot jars, to the top, cover and seal. |
