How to Make Jamie Oliver S Strawberry Jam

  1. Wash and hull 1kg (2.2 lbs) of fresh strawberries.
  2. Place the strawberries in a large, shallow bowl.
  3. Add 700g (1.5 lbs) of caster sugar and gently toss to coat the strawberries evenly.
  4. Gently crush the strawberries with your hands until they become pulpy and the sugar begins to dissolve. Let this macerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Transfer the strawberry mixture to a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  6. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 30 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  8. To test for setting point, place a small spoonful of jam onto a chilled plate. Let it cool for a minute. If the jam wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready. If not, continue simmering for a few more minutes and test again.
  9. Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a small headspace. Seal the jars tightly.
  10. Invert the jars for 5 minutes to create a vacuum seal, then turn them right side up and let them cool completely.
