Jam

Made strawberry jam.  From 2kg frozen strawberries. And 2kg sugar and a couple of sloshes of lemon juice.  Took a while to boil off extra water.  Then once above 100C, was quite quick.  It just hit 106C. Probably next time should stop as it hits 105C.


Can add redcurrants to strawberry jam to help set.
