STRAWBERRY BANANA JAM

Steps:

• Make sure you read the cooking notes before you start.
• Step 1 - Chop the strawberries and banana roughly. Chop them very finely for a smooth jam or leave bigger pieces for a chunky jam.
• Step 2 - Place the strawberries, bananas, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer - this should take 10 to 15 minutes (no lid). Let simmer for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally with a whisk, until a candy thermometer reads exactly 223°F (106°C). You can use the whisk to mash some of the fruit while stirring.
• If you do not have a candy thermometer - place a small plate in your freezer. When chilled, take the plate out of the freezer and drop a little spoonful of jam on it. Wait 1 minute and check the consistency: it should have thickened significantly to a jelly consistency. If it still looks too liquidy, keep the mixture at a simmer and try again later.
• Step 4 - Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before pouring into jars or airtight containers. The jam can keep for up to 14 days in the fridge in non-sterilized containers or jars and up to 3 months in sterilized jars.
