Instructions

  1. Heat up a large non-stick frying pan or electric frying pan to high / sear. It is very important that the pan is large otherwise this recipe won't work.
  2. Add the sugar and strawberries and cook until the sugar has dissolved - stirring constantly.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients and continue to cook until you have reached around 8 minutes of cooking in total. Allow to cool in the pan.
  4. To test if the jam is ready, place a side plate in the freezer for 5 minutes. Drop a dollop of jam onto the cold plate. Run your finger through the middle and if the jam stays apart and doesn’t immediately join back together, it’s jammy enough.
  5. Store in a sterilized glass jar.
