I love strawberry and raspberry jam equally so I decided to combine two of my favourite berries to perfectly compliment my delicious gluten free scones. Homemade jam is infinitely better than anything you will buy in the shops – much fruitier, zestier and yummier!If you want a pure strawberry jam simply replace raspberries with strawberries. Always remember to substitute by weight.
