Strawberry and other Jams
RECIPE FOR MUDDLED BERRY JAM
500g strawberries, not too ripe, hulled and halved.
350g blackcurrants.
350g raspberries.
juice of 2 lemons.
juice of 1 orange.
1 kg jam sugar.
Put all the ingredients into a bowl and stir together. Leave to macerate in a bowl for 2 hours, which will
give the fruit time to release its juices.
Transfer to a large saucepan and gently bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally for the next 10–15 minutes to dissolve the sugar and begin to soften the fruits, then raise the heat up to high and boil for 10–15 minutes, or until the jam has reached setting point.
Leave the jam to settle for 10 minutes before spooning it into warm sterilised jars and sealing.
Makes about 1.4 litres and keeps for at least a year.
Ghillie James is the author of 'Jam, Jelly & Relish - Simple Preserves, Pickles & Chutneys & Creative Ways to Cook with Them'. -
