Strawberry and basil jam

STEP BY STEP

Let's make something delicious.

1. 01

   Wash the strawberries and drain well. Remove the stalks and leaves, then cut the strawberries into small pieces. Place in a blender and purée until smooth.

2. 02

   Pick the basil leaves, wash, shake dry and finely chop.

3. 03

   Wash the lime in hot water, halve it and squeeze the juice over the strawberry purée. Grate off a little zest and stir it into the purée with the juice. Put the strawberry purée and jam sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the orange liqueur and boil vigorously for 4 minutes.

4. 04

   Remove the strawberry jam from the heat and stir in the basil. Transfer to sterilised preserving jars that have been rinsed with hot water, then seal.

5. 05

   The strawberry and basil jam is particularly good with fresh baguette or cheese.
