Wash your hulled strawberries and whizz in blender or food processor to a mush.

Add to a large preservng pan or saucepan along with the chopped peaches and jam sugar. Stir over a medium heat constantly until the sugar is all dissolved and no grains show on the back of your spoon. At this stage you could add a knob of butter, apparently it helps stop any scum, but I don't always bother.

Bring to boiling point, still stirring and keep at a rolling boil for 4 minutes.

Pop into sterilized jars, this should be enough for 2 x 400g jam jars.

Enjoy when set- on toast, crumpets or, for a real treat to remind you of your childhood this is amazing with vanilla ice cream, mmmm.....
