2022/23/24 Chutney and Jam Central

Three and a half jars of strawberry jam - all ingredients were free.
4 punnets of strawberries (supermarket past their sell by date), a kilo of castor sugar (from a neighbour's clearout when she moved) and a sachet of pectin that should have been used by Dec 2021.
If it doesn't set I have three and half jars of strawberry syrup.

I have six jars of strawberry jam and a container of strawberry compote in freezer . All produce was from allotment (Strawberry glut this year)  and sugar was 'free' because Helen used a lot of sugar whereas I don't use it. Consequently there was about 3 kilo of sugar left in cupboard some of which was quite solid but perfectly usable!
One little tip I have evolved with strawberry jam is to keep a handful of small strawberies back and add them quite late to the jam making process this gives me whole strawberries a plenty in the finished jam!
