Love your leftovers … quick fruit jam

This recipe is great for using up soft fruit past it’s best, but not when it’s gone so far that it has reached the mouldy stage – at this point the compost is the best place for them! View the full recipe at Love Food Hate Waste.

What you need

  • 300g over ripe soft fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, leaved and hulled if necessary
  • 300g caster sugar

Directions

  1. Put the soft fruit into a large pan with the caster sugar and crush lightly with a fork. Put the pan over to gently heat and bring to the boil.
  2. Remove the scum that comes to the surface with a spoon. Reduce the jam until it becomes quite thick, then pour it into a bowl and allow to cool. Refrigerate until needed.
