Strawberry jam  © David Loftus

strawberry jam

dressings / sauces | serves Makes a nice big jar
Slit the vanilla pod in half lengthways with a sharp knife and scrape down the length of each half to remove the seeds. Put the seeds in a bowl with the strawberries and the sugar. Mush up with the end of a whisk, making sure you leave some chunks of strawberry.

Pour the strawberry mixture into a saucepan and place on a medium heat. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 5 minutes. Then turn the heat off, skim any foam or scum off the top of the jam and leave to cool a little. Pour into clean jam jars and allow to cool completely before covering and placing in the fridge. The jam will keep for about a week, but will be long gone before then! See the strawberry jam recipe video here.

ingredients

• 1 vanilla pod
• 1kg strawberries, washed and hulled
• 500g high pectin sugar (jam sugar)

4. Abby Rutherfurd Thu 21 May 2009 @ 06:24 Hi! I watch your show all the time. I am studing to be a chef and i have cooked almost every dish that is on the internet that is diplayed. My favourite dish is the wild mushrooms and the venison stroganoff. I have entered a competition (cook off) and I am soooo exited. I am making jam drop cookies. I was also wanting to know can you please tell me the recipie for potato bake. I just love it so much

5. yun Wed 06 May 2009 @ 15:37 Hi, Jamie,
Thank you for your great show and wonderful receipts. I love this strawberry jam very much. Actually, my parents plant strawberry and other fruits. In the past, we do not know how to store fruits meanwhile keep them taste good. Now, thanks to your good receipts, we can also try to make some delicious desserts of typical western-taste. I watched your tv show ( a chinese version), it is good,but i prefer to the original english programmes. My father is insterested in making strawberry jam. In his opinion, the receipt is so simple and easy that everyone can make a delicious strawberry jam now.
Thank you for your great ideas.
6. Amélie from Lisbon Mon 30 Mar 2009 @ 18:40 I love your show, your recipes and I tried this jam recipe last night and I love it. The vanilla is great with the strawberries.
Bravo for all of your realisations. I hope to be as succesful as your are in all the spheres of your life.
Long life to your show and projects!
Amélie xoxo

I love your show and love to cook and bake. I did watch your show yesterday on strawberries and loved the rice pudding with strawberry jam and crushed meringue you made, is there a remote possibility that I could have the recipe.

thanks a bunch

15. Jean Thu 17 Jul 2008 @ 21:06 For Maria Andreina Varela -

Jamie's recipe for Chocolate Pots from his book "The Return of the Naked Chef". Serves 4.

The beauty of this dessert is that it is so smooth, silky and rich. However, if you want to lighten the mixture to make it into more of a mousse, then follow the recipe here but fold in 2 stifly beaten egg whites before pouring into the pots. Small servings are the key - I generally use espresso cups as they're the ideal size. Chocolate pots are brilliant for dinner parties as you can make them up the day before and stick them in the fridge until needed.

285ml / 1/2 pint single cream
200gr / 7oz best quality chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
2 large egg yolks
Optional - 3 tablespoons brandy
20gr / 1/4oz butter

In a thick-bottomed pan heat the cream until nearly boiling. Remove and set aside for 1 minute before snapping in your chocolate. Stir in until melted and smooth. Once melted beat in the egg yolks and brandy and stir until smooth. Allow to cool slightly before stirring in the butter until the mixture is smooth. Pour into individual serving pots.

Sometimes if you add the butter when the chocolate isn't cool enough it will make the chocolate look as if it has split. To rectify this, allow the mixture to cool a little longer before whisking in a little cold milk until you have a smooth consistency again.

17. Rijel Sardag Wed 16 Jul 2008 @ 00:11 Hi,

The first time I watched was in 1999. I had cable tv n you were doing a program for BBC. Oh by the way I live in Istanbul, Turkey.

Since then I have been a fan :) We had a Californian Exclusive Restaurant. On Valentine's Day out chef got sick n had no one to cook the dessert. We had 225 people waitin for the house "sweet". Suddenly I remembered one of your recipes; ben marie chocolate then add something etc. etc. It saved my life. Among my guests were the world high jet.

Tx :):)

18. nisha Mon 14 Jul 2008 @ 23:49 hiya, i love your recipies and methods of cooking. i am looking for a recipe a dessert i had at school in the old days ,well 1994. it was a caremal tart kinda but shortbread base and a creamy caramel topping (yellowish). i just canno find the recipe anywhere. can anyone help?
19. steve bartram Sun 13 Jul 2008 @ 19:29 can you give me your recipe bread and butter pudding / great web site
20. Kerry Duncan Sun 13 Jul 2008 @ 01:55 I too saw the show with the strawberry jam and the creamed rice, I would love to have the recipe.

keep up your shows I love them.
PS I do have 3 of your books, I could not find the rice recipe in any of them

22. caroline Thu 10 Jul 2008 @ 20:24 I think your fab, i have 3 of your cookbooks and have tried many recipes, and they have been brill, my boyfriend loves my cooking now lol

Thank you
23. Hayden 'Camarche' Pomana Thu 10 Jul 2008 @ 04:19 Just a note Callum Read, I applaud you with approach to getting a recipe for your competition, and ending up with a lecture about internet security. Anyway, having done many competitions before, you can rule out frozen and cold set desserts as time does not allow. Have you ever considered a Banana tart tatin, with really good puff pastry placed over the top of caramilised butterscotch bananas, a hint of Pedro Ximenez Black sherry can be added and then baked in a hot oven in small individual pans for about 10 minutes.
The whole dessert will take about 15 minutes, maybe 20 - 30 for a non-chef. If you need help msg me on my backup email spin_cafe@hotmail.com and I can give you any recipes if your interested, the main thing to remember is taste, simplicity and dont go too far over the top.
Good Luck - all the way from Australia.
24. Beam Tue 08 Jul 2008 @ 18:37 You've gotten my mom obsessed with you :( Not fun. You should knock on our door and tell my mom to shut up about you. I swear she has your books open all the time!
Not sure if that was a compliment or very, very severe insult. :P
25. Julia Tue 08 Jul 2008 @ 16:34 Hi!This recipe is great! And I would love to get the "risotto" recipe that I saw on the show . Here in Brazil, we say Arroz Doce (sweet rice). It was a kind of sweet risotto, and it was serverd along with the strawberry jam. Thank you! And sorry about my english...
26. Jean Tue 08 Jul 2008 @ 13:51 I love Jaime's show I just wish it was on more often or on longer. He sure fits a lot into his half hour.
27. Marlene Mon 07 Jul 2008 @ 17:39 I have been watching Jamie for a long time now, and i have to say i enjoy his style of cooking veyr much. I'm from Toronto,Canada and am always delighted when I am able to catch his show on the foodnetwork.
28. fatoonz Mon 07 Jul 2008 @ 17:15 I`m A big fan of jamie
I love him soo much i watch his show ln fatafet
I wish I could contact with hih even by masseges
29. Anniek Thu 03 Jul 2008 @ 07:02 @ Callum read:
I understand your in desperate need of recipes, but I think it's not a good idea to post your phonenumber on the internet. There's a lot of freaks outthere who can use your number.
I don't think Jamie Oliver will have time to call you back, but if you want to try it's always better to send an e-mail than just posting your number where everybody can read it..
Good luck on the competition.
30. callum read Wed 02 Jul 2008 @ 19:20 hi i have a competion at my school(Belfairs high school). and we have to make a mean corce and a dessert for the of the schools that is taking part in the 2008 olympics and i was thinking of making a canalloni but im not sure what dessert to make and they both have to be made with in a hour. if you have any suggetions please please contact me:01702 435 480 or 07527078433
31. Maria Andreina Varela Wed 02 Jul 2008 @ 16:52 Hi Jaime;

I am from Venezuela. I lived in the UK for a few years and I am missing your shows. You have a recipe, it`s a sort of chocolate pot and I would love to have it.
Also , you must prepare a trip around south America and learn a few recipe of us.
32. Pam Tue 01 Jul 2008 @ 09:41 I to saw that show and would like the recipe for the rice pudding. I love all your shows.
