At this time of year soft fruit is abundant and you might have some growing in your garden. If not there are plenty of farms where you can pick your own strawberries, raspberries or blackcurrants.

We love to make a super simple campfire jam from these fruits and serve them with wild toast. Unlike a true jam, this uses a small amount of sugar meaning it won’t keep for long. This doesn’t seem to be a problem though and a small batch usually disappears in a session!

To make a ‘Jam’ like this you simply add your cleaned fruit to the pan. Add a little water, but not enough to cover the fruit. Add several tablespoons on sugar depending on your taste and the volume of fruit. If you put in the juice of a lemon this will help it set. The mixture should then be simmered until the fruit has broken down and the jam begins to thicken. It can then be left to cool before eating.
