How to Make Jamie Oliver S Strawberry Jam
- Wash and hull 1kg (2.2 lbs) of fresh strawberries.
- Place the strawberries in a large, shallow bowl.
- Add 700g (1.5 lbs) of caster sugar and gently toss to coat the strawberries evenly.
- 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.
- Transfer the strawberry mixture to a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- 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.
- 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.
- Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a small headspace. Seal the jars tightly.
- Invert the jars for 5 minutes to create a vacuum seal, then turn them right side up and let them cool completely.
