·         Place a plate in the freezer to chill.

·         Place the strawberries , sugar, lemon zest and juice in a pan and stir together.

·         Heat until the sugar has dissolved then bring to a rolling boil.

·         Stir, then simmer gently for 20 minutes

·         To test the setting point, spoon a little jam onto the chilled plate. The jam should set a little, and when you run your finger into it, it should crinkle very slightly. If it is not ready continue simmering for another 5 minutes then test again.

·         Remember this Jam will not set much

When setting point is reached, remov from the heat and pour into sterilised jars. Cool overnight before use
