We're Jammin'

Instant Strawberry & Vanilla Conserve

Sloppy and sweet, just like the best Bonne Maman, and no faffing around with sugar thermometres, and setting points..
This couldn't be easier and whilst it will only last around a week or two in the fridge, you will have no trouble using it up in that time!
DELICIOUS with Scones & Clotted Cream.. ROLL on WIMBLEDON!

Makes 1 big or 2 small jars (approx 500ml)

• 400g Strawberries
  
• 200g Granulated Sugar

• Seeds from 1 Vanilla Pod
• 1 shallow tsp Citirc Acid (or juice of half a lemon)

• Hull strawbs and put all ingredients into a saucepan. Use a potato masher too mush up a bit, still leaving some larger pieces of fruit.
  
• Bring to a boil then simmer for 20-30 mins ish, stirring occasionally until reduced to approx 1/3 of original volume. (It will look glossy and combined, rather than like strawberry soup..) Remove from heat and leave to cool for 15 ins or so, skimming off any scum from surface.
• Pour into sterilsed jars and leave to cool completely then seal. Store in fridge. if you don't eat it all instantly!
