Today we went berry picking out Osbourne Road. What a great way to get out on a wet day!! We used 3 large punnets of strawberries for this recipe. We tried as the base for our jam, the Edmonds Strawberry jam recipe and jazzed it up a little with parts of Jamie Oliver's recipe - it set and tastes naturally strawberry with a hint of vanilla flavour. I'm sure if you used just regular sugar it would work.
Mis en place
3 kg of strawberries (3 of those large punnets)
4.5 C (1kg) of jam setting sugar
13.5 C of sugar
2 teaspoons of Equagold vanilla paste (or add more)
1 lemon (juice)
Method
Wash and hull strawberries.
Place in a large bowl and crush with a masher.
Put in a large pot with the sugar and vanilla and stir well.
Bring to boil and boil for about 5 minutes.
Add lemon juice and boil for a further 5 minutes.
Pour into hot sterilised jars. Place on lids tight while hot. Makes 15 random sized jars!
Wait until cool and place in pantry or store in fridge.
