Strawberry, Black Pepper and Balsamic Jam
/Method
Place the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, vinegar and black pepper in a large saucepan. Place over a medium heat and gently cook until the sugar is dissolved.
Turn the heat up slightly to bring the jam mixture to a gently bubble, cook until the jam thickens. You can test the thickness by dropping a spoon of the jam onto a chilled plate and hold the plate vertical - if the jam sets then your jam is ready to go.
Pour your jam into a sterilized jar and seal the lid tight. Leave the jam to cool, then store the jam in the fridge until you want to use it.
*For those with less of a sweet tooth, use half the sugar listed above.
