Strawberry & Apple Jam

The strawberries have really been great this year here in the Midwest. When my neighbors apple tree started having good apples early on, I dug out this recipe for strawberry and apple jam.

Strawberry & Apple Jam
500 gm strawberries
3 large green apples
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 cup water
1 kg sugar, warmed
Wash, hull & half the strawberries. Peel, core & quarter the apples. Ten cut quarters into thin slices. Put all the ingredients, except the sugar, into a large pot. Cover & bring to a boil.

Simmer until the fruit is tender. Add warmed sugar & stir till it has dissolved. Increase heat, stirring frequently & cook till setting point is reached.

Remove from heat & let stand for 5 minutes. Pour into warm sterile jars & seal.
