Step by step guide to making your super fast jam
 |
Crush 1kg cleaned, hulled strawberries (or fruit of your choice) coarsely with a potato masher or blender.
Place strawberries and 1kg CSR Jam Setting Sugar (1kg = 1 pack) into a large heavy based pot.

 |
Heat mixture over low heat until sugar is dissolved – do not allow to boil.
Add knob of butter and increase heat, to bring to a full rolling boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down).
|
| |
|
 |
Boil for 4 minutes only.
Remove from heat, skim off any foam and test for set.
To test for a set: remove pot from heat; put a small amount of jam on a chilled plate or saucer. Allow to cool and gently push a finger through this. If the surface wrinkles, the setting point has been reached. If not, return to boil and retest at 2 minute intervals.
