Fresh, plump and juicy strawberries marry the booziness of vodka and the bite of balsamic vinegar in a jam that’s a gourmet dream…

 Strawberry season is here, and no one is more excited than us at Ammiji’s! We’re getting boxes and boxes of fresh and juicy strawberries directly from a farm, and turning them into this not-too-sweet jam that will see us through when there are no more fresh strawberries in the market.

 There is, perhaps, no jam that is as versatile or as popular as a strawberry jam is. Slather it on to your croissants, add a dollop on your cheeseboard, spread it on your ajwain parantha, stir it into an avant-garde cocktail, thin it out and pour it over your waffles or just smear it all over a crisp sourdough toast – this is the stuff that gourmet dreams are made of! Every time we’ve made this jam here at Ammiji’s, one of us has found a novel way to eat it. The latest was when we sandwiched the jam between layers of homemade Victorian sponge cake…uff, heaven!

 We’ve taken a classic jam, and added a funky twist to it. A dash of vodka, and another of balsamic vinegar turns this into a jam that has layers of flavour with every bite. The sugar content is less than fifty percent, because we love the tang of strawberries and didn’t want a jam that was overly sweet. We hope you enjoy this as much as we do. ÔÅä
