Strawberry Jam
750g strawberries, hulled
750g preserving sugar
juice of 1 lemon
Cut any big strawberries in half and place them all in a large saucepan.
Warm the sugar in a low oven for a few minutes.
Mash half the strawberries over a low heat.
When the strawberries start to melt down add the sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Boil rapidly for 5 minutes, scraping off any scum.
Add a teaspoon of butter and then pour the jam into sterilised jars and place a lid on top.
