Good crop of home-grown strawberries

For some reason, there was a good crop of my home-grown strawberries this year

so I made strawberry jam for the first time in a long time.

I spread on toast and eat as yogurt or pancake topping.

It’s very good.

[Basic recipe]

Strawberries  　 1kg

Sugar           500g

Juice of a lemon  

*Although it’s all right to cut the amount of sugar, then it cannot be preserved

for a long time.

Simmer all the ingredients for 30 minutes while skimming scum.

It’s not easy watching the pan for 30 minutes, so I make it while preparing dinner.

Boil airtight containers and dry, when the jam cools, bottle up and keep it in the fridge. (H.S)
