Homemade Strawberry Jam

My strawberry harvest has been fantastic this year, unfortunately I am the only one that likes them....so what to do with all the strawberries???  I decided to make strawberry jam

I looked around for a good recipe and came across this one on the Good Food Channel Site:
Strawberry Jam Recipe

I halved the amount of strawberries and added vanilla seeds but then followed the recipe as suggested.


Chopped and ready to simmer with the lemon juice


I scraped the seeds from the vanilla pod and put those into the pan too


Simmering away to soften the strawberries


Jars ready to go into the oven to sterilise


Time to add the sugar and to turn up the heat


Jam boiling away to reach 104 degrees


And the finished result.....six jars of delicious strawberry and vanilla jam
