Homemade Jam Recipe
How to make strawberry jam
Follow this simple 4-step strawberry jam recipe to create your own scrumptious strawberry jam!
Place the strawberries in a heavy bottom saucepan and using a potato masher, crush the strawberries a little bit, until they release their juices.
Add the Tate & Lyle Pure Cane Caster Sugar and lemon juice (about 4 tbsp) and place it on low heat. Stir gently until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue to boil, stirring it often, until the mixture reaches 105C on a kitchen thermometer. If you don't have a kitchen thermometer, perform the 'plate test'. Place a small plate in the freezer for a few minutes. Take it out and spoon a small amount of jam onto the cold plate. Wait 30 secs and push your finger through the jam. If it wrinkles and doesn't flood to fill the gap, it is ready.
Turn the heat off under the strawberry jam mixture and let it sit for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, sterilise the jars.
TOP TIP
To sterilise the jars, preheat the oven to 160 C and wash the jars and lids in hot, soapy water and rinse them, but do not dry them. Place the jars onto a baking tray and into the oven for 10 minutes. Soak the jar lids in boiling water for a few minutes. If using the jars with rubber seals, make sure to remove the rubber seals before placing the jars in the oven. If using the jars with wax discs, make sure to cover the jam jars with the wax disc immediately after filling them. To process the jars in a water bath, place lids on jars, screw on rings and lower jars back into the pot of boiling water. The water should cover the jars. Boil the jars for 10 minutes, transfer them to a towel and allow to cool for 12 hours.
Transfer hot jam to sterile jars, leaving about 1 cm headspace. Seal jars with wax discs and lids immediately. (Depending on your jar lids, you may have to process your jam jars in boiling water, please see the notes for further instructions). Refrigerate and enjoy!

Yes it`s here, National Tea Day and the ideal time to share one of our favourite shortbread recipes using fragrant Earl Grey tea.
Here`s how to make Earl Grey & Lemon Shortbread:
Prep Time – 30 mins (4 hours to chill)
Yield – 12 – 16 (dependant on the size of your cutters)
Ingredients
Biscuits
50g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
2 tbsp of Earl Grey Tea
220g plain flour
Pinch of salt
Icing
A squeeze of lemon
100g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar
Instructions
Combine your tea leaves and butter, leaving overnight preferably to infuse. You can cover in a bowl and leave to the side as this mix shouldn’t be chilled.
Add your butter mix to a bowl your sugar and combine, then add the flour salt until a dough forms
Roll out your dough mix until even – about half an inch thick and cut with your biscuit cutter.
Pop onto a baking sheet and into a preheated oven at 180°C/ 160°C fan/ gas mark 4/ 350°F and bake for 15 mins. Keep and eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Whilst they cool make your icing and then drizzle generously once the biscuits are completely cold.

Just squeeze a bit of lemon juice in your standard whole or semi-skimmed if you`re ever in need.
