Little pot of Jam....

Today I thought Id try my hand at making strawberry jam..and seem strawberries were selling very cheaply at 99 cents a punnet at our local market...I couldn't resist.... I so have to get a new camera!!!! argh   lol....this other device just doesn't cut it!..pic not very clear. ha ha.....I know.. I know...Im getting around to it... :)

Jam was just 1 cup organic raw sugar...3 punnets of berries...750 grams all up and  half a lemon ( juice...)
heat on the stove till boiling point then simmer on a medium heat for about 30 mins stirring every so often...pour into sterilized jars (very hot)..let cool then refrigerate.....
I made 2 jars with that amount.....should last a few weeks...mind you I think 1 cup of sugar made it very sweet...but I think to keep the jam from spoiling one must add so much!...but I don't think it will last too long around here!...I will be making a batch of scones to go with ..this week.Ill  cant wait to whip up a batch!!
And for the icecream lovers...Jam poured hot over it...oh goodness just so Divine!!
Well thats it for today...been raining again here tonnes in the great SE of Queensland..so perfect weather for toodling around in the kitchen!...........
P>S Sterilize jars by boiling for 10 minutes....so mold doesn't grow on your jam....
P>SS..just made a second batch with less sugar..turned out fine!!~
