• Steralise your jam jars before you get started.  Wash well in hot soapy water and then place into an oven which has been preheated to 100 degrees and let them 'cook' for 15 minutes before carefully sitting aside until needed.
• Place all of the ingredients for your jam into a large saucepan and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes - stirring regularly until the strawberries begin to break down.
• Increase the heat to medium/high until the mixture begins to slowly boil and cook for approximately 15 minutes or until the mixture thickens to the desired consistency and coats the back of a spoon when tested.
• Allow the jam to cool for 10 minutes in the saucepan (it will also thicken a little more upon standing) before transferring to a blender/food processor and blitzing until the consistency is smooth before transferring to the prepared jars.
