Step 1

Hull and halve the berries if necessary, then place them in a saucepan and heat gently until they soften and their juices start to run. Press the berries with the edge of a wooden spoon to break them up, then stir in the sugar, spices and lemon zest and juice. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, stirring frequently.

Step 2

Turn up the heat to high and boil the mixture for about 5–6 minutes until the setting point is reached. To test, place 1 tsp of the jam on a small plate and chill for 2 minutes. The surface should then wrinkle when pushed with a finger. If necessary, boil the jam a little longer. If the surface of the jam becomes foamy, skim it with a slotted spoon.
