Strawberry Vanilla Jam

 400 g strawberries (fresh or frozen)
 200 g sugar
 1 green apple, sliced with skin on or I used 1/2 tsp of citrus pectin
 1 vanilla bean, cut into pieces

1. Place all ingredients into Thermo bowl and cook 35 min/Varoma/speed 1 with simmering basket on top of lid in place of the MC.

2. Check the consistency of the jam by placing a spoonful onto a cold plate. If it wrinkles up when pushed, the jam is ready. If not, cook 10 min/Varoma/speed 1 at a time and check after each time period, up to 30 minutes more, until it has reached the consistency that you like. (This is an edit; please see comments below.)

3. Pour into sterilised jar and allow to cool before serving.

Don't double the recipe as it will cause chaos and don't leave out the apple because it provides the pectin. My favourite jam ever. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftenina.com%2F2011%2F08%2Fstrawberry-vanilla-jam%2F&h=0AQH1Wzto&s=1">http://tenina.com/2011/08/strawberry-vanilla-jam/</a>
