SPLENDAŽ Strawberry Jam
1 Place all the ingredients plus 2 tbsp water in a heavy based pan and bring slowly to the boil over a low heat. Stir occasionally until the SPLENDAŽ Granulated has dissolved and the juices begin to run.
2 Increase the heat to a rolling boil and boil for 5 minutes.
3 Pour immediately into sterilised jars exercising caution as the jam will be very hot. Seal with a disc of waxed paper directly touching the jam. Allow to cool for 4-5 hours, then cover with a lid or cellophane top. Store in the fridge.

Tip

Try using reduced fat margarine. This will produce a more crumbly, drier scone that is best eaten the same day.

This is a soft set jam so only take out of the fridge as required. Consume within 1 month. Using SPLENDAŽ Granulated means that the jam will not necessarily reach the normal jam set temperature and cannot be tested for set by usual methods.
