Making use of the strawberries while I can. Hopefully I’ll get different varieties of berries soon (if I can keep the bugs at bay). In the meantime, at least I’m preserving a sense of berries for future guests. Hopefully I can gather enough for some jam soon.

Recipe

• Blend berries
• Dissolve 1 cup of sugar with one cup of water
• Bring to the boil and boil for a few minutes
• Cool syrup
• Stir in blended berries
• Put through a sieve. Don’t force as liquid will be glunky
• Pour into sterilised bottles
• I’ve labelled mine and put into the fridge to be on the safe side
