Chop the strawberries and apricots finely. Peel ginger and dice finely. Wash and dry lemon balm. Pluck off the leaves. Mix fruit, ginger, citric acid and jam sugar in a large pot.
Bring everything to the boil while stirring over high heat. Then let it boil thoroughly for at least 3 minutes while stirring constantly. Stir in lemon balm
Immediately pour jam into prepared twist-off jars. Seal, turn upside down and leave to cool for 5-10 minutes. Then allow to cool completely
- Diet jam contains about 2/3 less sugar than
"regular" jam. This makes it taste very fruity,
but does not last that long
- If you cannot get fresh ginger, you can replace it with 1/2 tsp. ground ginger or cinnamon
