Yesterday I realised that we had run out of jam.  Fortuntately I have adopted a new habit of freezing fruit and you will find lemons, limes, bananas, raspberries, strawberries and plums in our freezer.

Out came the strawberries, which I left to thaw before whipping up a batch of jam.

Note remember to remove the foam, I was baking biscuits at the same time and forgot to do this.
Hence a couple of my jars have a bit of foam in the bottom of the jar, French Boyfriend told me off and I will remember to do so next time.  French Strawberry Jam1 kilo  strawberriesjuice of 1 lemon600 grams  of sugar Wash and cut strawberries.
