can i use frozen strawberries to make jam

I would use them, I don't expect they will retain their shape as I'm sure they will go 'soggy' on defrosting.  Just follow the recipe.

Yes you can make frozen strawberries into jam. I freeze strawberries into 1 lb quantities and freeze them when they are cheap.

Let them defrost in a sieve and catch the defrosting liquid. If you want them to retain their shape, layer them with the sugar over night.

Use the defrosting liquid to cook grated cooking apple to the ratio of 8oz to 2 lb strawberries and you shouldn't need to use pectin jam sugar or the packet pectin stuff. Cook the apple until they are soft and the liquid has evaporated.

The ratio of apples doesn't affect the taste, but if you prefer you can use the jam sugar with pectin. Personally I am not keen of the packet pectin stuff.

Sorry to be thick but do you cook the apples separately from the strawbs? and then add them together?

You are not being thick, I didn't explain myself properly, sorry.

Yes, cook the apples separately and then add it to the strawberry and sugar mix. Simmer until the sugar dissolves and then continue as usual. Make sure you use bramley cooking apples.

It is nice to know I am not alone in that. I have given it a go three times now and haven't been happy with the results.

i found the bramley apple more natural, gives an added texture, not highly processed and not so expensive.
