Simmer It
Once it's at the boil add the sugar and reduce to a simmer, cook it for about 5 minutes. or until thick.
To test if it is ready, place a drop of the jam onto a plate and let it cool, if you can draw a clean line through it with your finger then it's ready.
Ladle the jam into a clean glass jar and seal it while it's still hot, this way it's be airtight once it cools.
Enjoy!
