Homemade Strawberry Jam


Strawberry Jam is nice enough when it's a decent brand bought in a store. When it's home made by my nephews next door and my sister-in-law, their mum, however, it's superb. They bought a punnet of strawberries from the supermarket and with sugar and honey made this suberb jam. After I ate a bit of it, it's hard to revert to store-bought brands again. The freshness and the sheer strawberrieness of it came through so strongly. And the honey was the best touch.

However making it this way costs double the amount of a decent store bought brand and that doesn't include the skilled labour of the gaggle of kids who made this. So, sad to say, we won't get this strawberry jam very often as a result.

This jam was a special edition jar made for their grandma's birthday which we ate after the dinner of duck, fish, prawns and mango rojak.
