500g fresh strawberries, halved (or quartered if very large)
50g honey or 100g Rapadura (or to taste)
1 1/2 tsp good quality gelatine or agar agar powder
Thermomix Method:
Place all ingredients into Thermomix bowl and cook 8 mins/100C/rev/speed 2.
Allow jam to cool down before pouring into jars, then place into fridge to set for 2 hours.
Jam will last 7-10 days in the fridge. If you want to keep it longer, freeze in ice cube trays and pop into a bag to store in the freezer for up to 4 months.
Conventional Method:
Place all ingredients into a saucepan with 1/2 a cup of water, and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring, until berries are cooked and beginning to break down – approx 8 minutes.
Continue as above.
Try any other berries or fruit, add some cinnamon or other spices, and if you want a bit more tartness you can add a squeeze of lemon juice.
