Strawberry Jam with Tellicherry Black Pepper

I run Northumbrian Pantry, with my husband David, from our family home in the small village of Simonburn. Surrounded by the North Tyne Valley, growing up on the Nunwick Estate, I gained a great passion for cooking as a youngster before attending Leith’s School of Food and Wine, where my skills really flourished. Our vision has always been a simple one, to create the highest quality of preserves achievable, with full flavours always as the foundation. To do this, we knew we needed to be precise in selecting the best ingredients through to only ever cooking in small batches. This approach provides fuller flavours, brighter colours and fresher aromas.
