Feeling quite smug today as I now have 5 very large jars of homemade jam to see me through winter.
I say 'quite' smug because I did have a bit of a setting point issue with the strawberry flavour and 'sauce' is probably a more accurate description that 'jam'. Lesson learnt - more pectin needed for strawberries. Also, not all the strawberries were homegrown - a substantial top up was required from the local PYO. I'm sure I should get a few points for trying though.
It's another step on the ladder to tastier food and fewer supermarket purchases. I was particularly chuffed to buy UK sugar too - i'm tempted to look up how to grow my own, but perhaps I should walk before I can run!
