I always thought that Jam was one of those complicated recipes that I would never be able to master. It's actually really easy. I only needed three ingredients. I don't know what I was worried about.
The biggest problem with making jam is that it costs so much to actually make it. 1 Kg of strawberries, Jam sugar and a vanilla pod came to about £9. You can get a jar of jam for 69p.
Luckily, it's just been payday! It was something fun to do with the kids on a rainy afternoon and I cant wait to have a mound of it on top of some scones with clotted cream and a cuppa tomorrow.
De- stalking the strawberries.
