  • 250 g strawberries
  • 200 g blackberries

  • 50 ml lemon juice freshly squeezed (about 1.5 lemons) + 2 half lemon rinds

Instructions

  • Put 2 saucers in the freezer which will be used to test for set.
  • Rinse and dry the berries (I use my salad spinner).
  • Hull the strawberries.
  • Add berries, sugar, lemon juice and lemon rinds to a preserving pan or similar heavy bottomed pan.
  • Place on a low heat and stir with a wooden spoon until all the sugar has fully dissolved (do not simmer).
  • Use a potato masher to mash the strawberries and blackberries to the desired consistency.
  • Slowly bring the pan to a rolling boil and then time for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Take off take off heat and test a few drops on a saucer by placing in the fridge for a minute.
  • Push you finger through the jam and if it forms a crinkle then it’s ready, if not boil for another 2 minutes at a time and retest until setting point is reached.
  • Remove lemon halves and ladle into 2 medium sized sterilised jars (see notes) and screw lids on immediately.

Notes

Sterilise jars by washing in hot soapy water (or take straight from dishwasher), fill with boiling water, empty and then place in oven for 20 minutes at 140°C where you leave them until the jam is ready. Washed lids should be sterilised with boiling water and then left to drain.
