Ok, so you don’t exactly bake jam, do you? But think of all of the uses that jam has in the kitchen when it comes to baking…

Filling a Victoria Sponge, making jam tarts or simply for spreading on home baked bread.

As with everything, it’s best when you make it yourself. Now is the perfect time for making jam – all the summer fruits are ready, available and at their best. Strawberries, raspberries, currants, gooseberries, soon to be followed by blackberries in September.

A little tip: you’ll often find grocers discounting soft fruit at the end of the day, if you can’t use it that evening, freeze it for use at a later date.
