Moroccan Strawberries - Zamzam Jam

Yes it is finally here. The strawberry season in Morocco. Everywhere you look are donkey carts piled high with strawberries on a bed of mint. Men yelling 8dirhams a kilo come and buy. We love to cooking with season fruit and veg at Zamzam it is one of the joys of living in Morocco, thinking up dishes when something comes into season.

So I have been busy making strawberry jam. This recipe is a soft set, strawberries in a delicious syrop. The clients at Zamzam love to eat this in the sun on the terrace, spooned onto their fresh Moroccan pancakes. If you would like this recipe drop me an email. I sometimes use some Rose Flower water in it to give it more perfumed taste, but I didn't need to with this batch as the strawberries were so perfumed themselves. I noticed when i was in the UK at Waitrose that the strawberries had Morocco on them, just lucky they don't export them all. They taste much better here straight from the farm with no packaging!
