Strawberry Jam is one of the easiest things you will ever make in your Thermal cooking device, actually, jam, in general, is one of the easiest things to make.
My whole family just love Strawberry Jam, so everyone was pretty impressed when I made a batch. Here in Tassie, we grow strawberries in our garden, and in summer we have bowls full of them. I hate to waste, so making jam seemed like the perfect solution.

Thermal Cooking Method
- To sterilise your jars, wash jars in very hot, soapy water. Place jars on a flat baking tray into a cold oven. Turn oven to 50°C and allow jars to dry and sterilise.
- Place all ingredients into your mixing jug, cook for 20 minutes/steaming temp/speed 1/MC off/simmering basket on. This helps reduce splatter.
- Pour immediately into warmed jars and seal.
- Once you have opened a jar, store in the fridge. Unopened jars should store for up to 12 months in a cool, dark place like the bottom shelf of your pantry.

Mc on or off?
I leave it off to allow more steam to escape – I sit the steaming basket on top though to reduce any splatter
The whole family loves this jam! And it is so easy to make! We prefer it with raw sugar.
I am not allowed to buy jam anymore and it just doesn’t taste as good ?
Could this be doubled?
yes, it sure can. Just don’t do more than 500g strawberries at a time :)
I love this recipe. Its beautiful. Whole family loves it too. Super easy.
Could you use from frozen (it’s just what I have)
Maybe thaw out your strawberries first.
