Glenlo Strawberry and Foraged Gorse Jam is made by our professional chefs with fresh gorse picked from our 138-acres estate.
UNIT:
1-2 jars
INGREDIENTS:
500g of Fresh Strawberries
500g of Jam Sugar
1 tablespoon Gorse Syrup (below for the recipe)
Squeeze of 1 lemon
One knob of butter
METHOD:
Wash strawberries gently and pat dry with a cloth, remove the green stem, and slice in half.
Combine strawberries,jam and sugar together in a saucepan.
Cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the mixture reaches 105 degrees, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the jam is cooking, sterilise jam jars by heating clean jars in the oven at 160°C for 10-15 minutes.
Add the knob of butter to the jam (this helps prevent the fruit from floating to the top of the jar).
At this stage, add the gorse syrup.
Spoon the jam into warm jars and seal. Allow to cool fully.
Keep in a cool, dry place until opening, then refrigerate.
Enjoy your homemade Strawberry and Foraged Gorse Jam!
