Strawberry, Black Pepper and Balsamic Jam

Strawberry, Black Pepper and Balsamic Jam

Recipe By Michael Weldon

Ingredients

  • 800 g strawberries, quartered

  • 400 g Coles sugar

  • 1 lemon, juice

  • 2 tbs Coles finest balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tbs black pepper

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.
