Ingredient

Strawberries (hulled) 1 kg
CSR Jam Setting Sugar 1 kg
A Knob of Butter

Method:

1. Crush strawberries coarsely with a potato masher or blender.

2. Place strawberries and sugar in a large, heavy based 6 litre pot.

3. Heat mixture over a low heat until sugar is dissolved. Do not allow to boil.

4. Add a knob of butter then increase heat and bring to a full rolling boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down).

5. Boil for 4 minutes only. Remove from heat, skim off any foam and bottle in pre-sterilised jars immediately.

To test for a set: after boiling, remove pot from heat, and put a small amount of the jam on a cold plate. Allow to cool and then push a finger gently through this. If the surface wrinkles, the setting point has been reached. If not, return to boil for and retest at 2 min intervals

Makes approximately 1.5kg of jam.
