Ingredients
- 400g fresh strawberries (330g - 350g hulled weight)
- 215g caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash and hull the strawberries then chop them into quarters and add them to a blender. Blend until smooth then pour the blended strawberries into a medium to heavy duty saucepan and add the sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract.
- Place the saucepan on a medium to high heat and stir while the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat if necessary to ensure the jam doesn’t boil over and continue to stir. As the jam progresses, you will see a paler pink liquid gathering at the top of the jam. Frequently stir until the jam is thick and syrupy and the paler pink liquid has completely disappeared. The process can take between 20 and 30 minutes.
