Tip – To prevent contamination and lengthen the shelf life of homemade jams, it's important to sterilise the storage jars. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse well but do not dry. Instead, leave them to stand upside down on a baking sheet while they're still wet. Pop the tray of clean, wet jars and lids into a preheated oven at 140°C / 120°C fan for approximately 15 minutes.
