    Just to report the jam has set, with a good consistency.  The only thing that happened with the second attempt is the fruit seems to have broken down a lot, so no chunks of strawberry in it.
    Does it taste good though? That is the main metric of interest.

    So much to read, so little time.

    It does, although very sweet!  I've still got a kilo of strawberries in the freezer, I think I'll see if I can find a recipe for strawberry and rhubarb (also got loads of this) to reduce the sweetness level of the next batch.
