I have always been a sucker for a good scone with jam and cream… (want a great scone recipe? Check it one of my favourite tried and tested one’s here).
What is better than home-made jam??? Homemade jam with alcohol 🙂 (just kidding – because the alcohol is actually cooked away during the process and you are just left with the taste… )
I found this recipe in the BBC Good Food magazine (July 2019 issue) and made a few pots (which disappeared quite quickly when we gave a few to friends)… and it was YUM!
A definite make-again!
Pimm’s Strawberry Jam
500g strawberries (stalks removed / cut into quarters)
500g jam sugar
1 lemon (juiced)
1/2 orange (zested and juiced)
150ml Pimm’s
- Put strawberries into a large pan with sugar, lemon and orange juice
- Stir to dissolve sugar while bringing to the boil
- Continue to boil until it reaches 105C – stirring occasionally for another 20 minutes
- Remove the mixture from the heat, add in the orange zest and the Pimm’s, then leave to cool for 15minutes before placing into sterilized glass jars.
