Spiced Strawberry and Ginger Jam

This jam is a personal favourite. It’s great on cheddar cheese scones, spread thinly over cold smoked ham, or on wholemeal toast with goats’ cheese. Strawberries have a low level of pectin (the soluble carbohydrate that makes jam set) so you may want to add a pectin-based setting agent as extra insurance when you make this. These are available from supermarkets and come with instructions.
