This recipe requires very little effort, will keep in the fridge for about a week, and is very tart and delicious. A really modern take on strawberry jam. Thermomix instructions included.

• Makes: around a cup and a half of jam
• Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

500g of ripe strawberries hulled
150g (3/4 cup) The Sugar Breakup Dextrose
Zest of one lemon
Juice of 1 lemon

To Do:

1. Find a large jar, give it a good wash then place the jar & lid in a bowl and fill to the brim with boiling water (just to ensure they are extra clean).
2. Place all ingredients in a small to medium saucepan.
3. Boil over a medium heat for around 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally until jam starts to thicken.
4. Carefully empty the water from the jar, pour jam into the warm jar, allow to cool, pop the lid on and store in the fridge.
5. Enjoy jammy goodness on everything! Toast, scones, hot cross buns, baked into biscuits. So many ways.
