Our strawberries are still providing but there are lots that look a bit dodgy. We popped to the allotment and picked very selectively for our first venture into jam making.
We selected this easy microwave method and decided to make 3/4 of the recipe amount because one of the comments said it climbs the bowl walls while cooking and we weren't sure if our bowl would contain it...

Well, I'm pleased to say it did. We cooked the 375g jam sugar, 375g fruit and 37.5g lemon juice for 12 minutes, rather than the full 15.

And there you are - 2 jars of strawberry jam! One to eat this week and one to keep for a while to see how it lasts. (The bowl scrapings were fabulous with ice cream - not unbearably sweet like the recipe may seem)
