“Strawberries are in season and it’s best to preserve the sweetness at its peak,” Gastroposter Alexandra Tang says about her homemade strawberry jam. “It’s always nice to make homemade as there’s no unnecessary additives. It’s the ultimate flavourful jam you have ever tasted.” Looks pretty sweet to us, Alexandra!
