Jam

Ingredients

• 1 large cup of fruit
• 1 small cup of sugar

Method

1. 1

   Prepare your fruit nicely; strawberries must be washed and hulled, peaches pared and cut up, raspberries looked over for poor ones.

2. 2

   Mash the fruit and put it in a kettle in layers with the sugar, and press and stir it till it is all wet and juicy.

3. 3

   Then gently boil it, stirring constantly from the bottom up, so the fruit will not burn.

4. 4

   Mash with a wooden potato masher till all is smooth.

5. 5

   When it has cooked nearly an hour, try a little on a cold saucer and see if it gets firm.

6. 6

   When it does, it is done.
