What each ingredient does
- Strawberries
- Provide the fruit, pectin and flavour that form the jam's body and taste.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the jam and helps it set into a thick, spreadable texture.
The step that matters
Boil for 10 minutes after adding the sugar. Sugar must dissolve and the mixture must reach a full rolling boil for the jam to thicken and set properly. Under-boiling leaves it runny, and over-boiling can darken its colour and flavour.
