Don’t Waste: Saving old fruit from the bin

In line with our deep rooted belief that waste is one of the biggest destroyers of our planet, Keith and I do all we can to save and not waste.

Today I noted the "whoopsie" strawberries I picked up at the supermarket were getting a little soft and squishy. So before they mold and start to taste earthy I topped and tailed, tossed them in a pan (50:50 fruit to sugar - though I use a little less sugar) added some sugar, a grape to get the pectins which will make it set and brought it to a rolling boil for around 5 to 10minutes.

It should become visibly thicker, or test it's set-ability on a plate.

Once happy, I let it cool a little and transfer to a jar. It's never going to be "set" like a supermarket jam because you aren't using the chemicals they do to make it appear "just right" but it will taste so amazing you won't regret it.

How long did yours last? Ours is gone in a week ! 😋
