Ingredients
25
g
nasturtium flowers
500
mls
reserved liquid
30
mls
lemon juice
380
g
fructose
15
g
pectin
Method
Place the flowers into a large jar and cover with boiling water
Make sure that the flowers are completely covered and submerged
Seal the jar and leave overnight
Strain through a muslin cloth and reserve the liquid
Place 500mls of the reserved liquid into a sauce pan
Add the lemon juice and the fructose
Bring to the boil over a medium temperature, stirring until the fructose is dissolved
Remove 60mls of the liquid and add the pectin to make a slurry
Add this to the sauce pan and whisk in
Skim off the scum, reduce the temperature and leave to simmer
When at jam set stage (over 104° Celsius) remove from the heat - this took me an hour
Place into
sterilized glass jars
Leave to cool before sealing and storing in the fridge
Bring up to room temperature before using
Notes
The straining through the muslin cloth is to catch any insects that might have found their way into your flowers
