Directions
Traditional Devon Cream Tea Strawberry Jam – Strawberry Conserve, A fabulous recipe for a soft set strawberry jam, or rather a strawberry conserve, where most of the fruit remains whole and is suspended in a delicious strawberry flavoured jammy syrup! This conserve reminds me of the traditional Cream Teas you get in the West country of England – especially Devon and Cornwall; a pot of tea served with fluffy fresh scones, butter, thick cream and this strawberry conserve (Preparation time includes the 2 days allowed for the fruit to stand in the sugar ) This type of jam recipe is also very French, they tend to have a softer set jam here in France – it is lovely to see WHOLE pieces of fruit on your toast or scones! I also use this for steamed puddings – absolutely divine!, A very good recipe, and a good technique I have let it sit for 25-30 minutes to cool, to let the fruit be suspended To can, used a 6 oz jar and processed for 10 minutes I still get some floating of the fruit Perhaps I will add a small dose of pectin next time That’s what it’s for, right?
