Strawberry jam

Not just any Strawberry Jam but Hill Farm Scarlet Beauty!

While I was away last week my little alpine strawberries ripened en masse. The variety is 'Scarlet Beauty' and I was very keen to use them before they got snaffled by the slugs or the pheasant. I looked on the internet to find a recipe using just the small amount (200g) that I had ... the result was 'one punnet strawberry jam'. My quantity made two jars and although it looked pippy it tasted delicious. I mashed some berries but kept half of them whole and added them once the sugar had dissolved. Now I just need to make the scones!
