I don't normally do this (perhaps I should!) but I wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the fruit bushes,etc. They arrived this morning and after undoing the excellent packing I was impressed with how strong and healthy the plants were. I have spent a very pleasant spring day heeling everything in.
So thanks once again for your prompt and efficient service - I look forward to my first crop of soft fruit this summer and for many years to come!!

Strawberry Jam Recipe
Ingredients
- 3½ lbs (1600g) hulled strawberries.
- Juice of a large lemon.
- 3 lbs (1300g) jam sugar.
Method
- Heat the strawberries and lemon juice gently in the pan, stirring constantly to reduce the volume.
- Add the sugar, stir till dissolved and boil until setting point (105°C/220°F) is reached. Use a jam thermometer or the 'wrinkle' test to check.
- Remove any scum on the jam.
- Leave the jam undisturbed to cool until a skin forms on the surface and the fruits sink (about 20 minutes).
- Stir gently to distribute the strawberries. Pour into warm, clean, dry jars and cover immediately with waxed discs.
- Seal jars when cold, either with lids or covers.
