Jam day

Once a summer we turn twenty kilos of strawberries into the jam for the cookie box and the Victoria sponge. Here is our recipe, scaled down for one kitchen.

Plasticine jam jars, a bowl of strawberries and a slice of Victoria sponge on a checked tablecloth

Every jar of jam in the bakery is made on one long day in July. This is the recipe, for two jars at home.

  1. Hull and halve 500 g of strawberries and stir them with 350 g of sugar and the juice of a lemon.
  2. Leave them for an hour, until the sugar has dissolved into the juice.
  3. Boil hard for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring, until a drop on a cold plate wrinkles when you push it.
  4. Pour into clean, hot jars and close the lids.

It keeps for a year, and goes in our jam hearts all winter.
