Recipe Instructions:

2 cups strawberries (1 punnet), washed & hulled
Juice of 2 limes
Seeds of 10 cardamom pods, crushed
1/2 - 1 cup white caster sugar
2 cups apple pectin (or the equivalent pectin powder)

Directions
Combine the strawberries and lime juice in a large bowl and crush with a fork/potato masher, till liquid is released from the fruit. Add the cardamom seeds and leave to macerate, a few minutes to a couple of hours, refrigerated.
Blitz in a blender/food processor till the strawberry mixture is smooth.
Pour the mixture into a large pan, with the sugar and the liquid pectin. Bring to the boil and then turn down heat and let cook till reduced and edges begin to collect thickened syrup. Watch it carefully so it doesn't overheat and burn.
If you don’t have an eye for telling when the jam is ready as it may still look somewhat liquid, do the jam test, by putting a small saucer in the freezer to cool. When cold, put a small bit of jam on the cold saucer and let it rest for a couple of minutes, then touch the surface of the jam. It should wrinkle if it is ready.
Pot/can if you like. Enjoy.
