Strawberry Jam

Ingredients:

About 3 punnets of strawberries (so cheap right now!)

pure apple juice

gelatine or agar agar

Method:

Take off green bits, wash and cut strawberries in half.

Put the strawberries in a medium saucepan

Pour enough apple juice into the saucepan to cover half the strawberries

(so, there is double the amount of berries to liquid. The strawberries will cook down so you don't need heaps of liquid.)

Bring to the boil and simmer until the strawberries are soft.

Mix 1 teaspoon of agar agar with some boiling water to disolve.

Add to the strawberry mixture and mix well.

(at this point you could use some gelatine- only use a small amount like half a sachet mixes with some boiling water)

Chill!

This was honestly the easiest recipe!!
