Strawberry Conserve

I forgot to mention that I made this instead of Tenina's Strawberry Jam last time.  It is lovely. Thanks Chookie.

Cookie,  glad you enjoyed it.  We have been having it on the SD crumpets.

Got some "2nds" strawberries so I made this. I don't use jamsetta so I used a whole apple (cored) and a largish lemon. Cooked on 100 degrees (added an extra 10 mins). Had to lick the bowl to make sure none of this delicious jam was wasted! Thank you Chookie

Chookie, my eldest boy's teacher told me that her daughter loved the jam so much that she asked her mum to buy. Gave a jar to the teacher as Xmas pressie last year 😆😃

BZB,  glad they enjoyed your jam.  My DIL makes this as a gift to all the GC teachers. She says they also love it.

Bought some jam berries, but forgot lemons, will go back and make this tomorrow.
Also will try the raspberry one, with plums and  buy nectarines I think as not quite enough plums left!

Hi chookie
I made two batches of this today. Last batch with remaining strawbs to make tomorrow.
So easy I put it on and went to feed the sheep! Second batch I did the ironing. So easy!

Got plenty for filling cakes now! Cake cheers us up when we need it!

Great jam!  I've made 2 lots of this now, the second lot I reduced the sugar to 300g and am more happy with the sweetness for us.  Love it Chookie.

Thanks Julie.  Like the idea of reducing the sugar. 

[BeezeeBee]

Julie, I've reduced the sugar to 280g. One whole apple and extra cooking time of 5-10 mins have eliminated the need for jamsetta 😄

[JulieO]

Thanks Bee, will try that next time. 

[achookwoman]

Thanks Bee, will try that next time. 

Me too.  Love the way members share what the do.

DJ, sounds delicious.
Made 9 jars of Apple and berry jam this morning.  Used frozen berries and windfalls and skins and cores of other apples.
