CSR Super fast Strawberry Jam

Method:

• Crush strawberries coarsely with a potato masher or blender.
  
  
• Place strawberries and sugar in a large, heavy based 6 litre pot.
  
  
• Heat mixture over a low heat until sugar is dissolved. Do not allow to boil.
  
  
• Add a knob of butter then increase heat and bring to a full rolling boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down).
  
  
• Boil for 4 minutes only. Remove from heat, skim off any foam and bottle in pre-sterilised jars immediately.  

To test for a set: after boiling, remove pot from heat, and put a small amount of the jam on a cold plate. Allow to cool and then push a finger gently through this. If the surface wrinkles, the setting point has been reached. If not, return to boil for and retest at 2 min intervals

Makes approximately 1.5kg of jam.
