Making Strawberry Jam

Room 1 had a go at making their own strawberry jam. We had a discussion on what we might need and how to make it. Indyanna told us we needed a recipe!! We found a recipe on the internet and made our jam. Mrs Kelly read out the ingredients and then the recipe. We had to follow the instructions.

First we put strawberries into a pot. We had to use frozen ones. 

Then we added 4 cups of sugar. It looked  like snow on the strawberries.

Next Jan added some lemon juice.

Everyone had a turn at stirring the sugar and strawberries together. It was hard to mix them together.

Mrs Kelly put the pot on an element to cook the sugar and strawberries. We had to leave it for 45 minutes.

When it had cooked we put in jars. Once it cooled down it started to set.

"It tasted yummy!!!" said Ivy-Rose

"Remember to blow on it if it is too hot" said Max

"Yum, Yum, delicious" said Ariana

"Time for a second spoonful" said MacKay.

Watch out Master Chef!!!
