Try our delicious jam. Everyone asks for our recipe. Give it a go!
2 Before you start, sterilize the jars and their lids to get rid of any bacteria. Boil them in a very large pan of boiling water for 10 minutes; That is the most traditional way.
3 Halve the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Put the seeds in a saucepan with the strawberries and the sugar. Mush it up with hands, leaving a few chunky bits of strawberry to add a bit of texture.
4 Place the pan on a medium heat, bring it to the boil then simmer for about 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and butter. Turn the heat off, skim any foam off the top of the jam then leave it to cool a little.
After about 15 minutes, divide the jam between your sterilized jam jars. Cover the jars and turn them up side down.
best keep it in refrigerator
