The test... strawberry jam

The test … Strawberry jam: Fortnum & Mason Strawberry jam
Fortnum & Mason Strawberry and Champagne
£5.25 for 340g, fortnumandmason.com
Plenty of whole berries to sink your teeth into, but with lots of good jam for smearing over scones. The pièce de résistance is the s­ubtle, yet unmistakably cool bite from the champagne.

The test … Strawberry jam: Forman and Field strawberry jam
Forman & Field Strawberry
£4.50 for 225g, formanandfield.com
This tastes the most “homemade” of the lot. It has a caramel colour and flavour and is delightfully runny. Plus, it comes in a storage jar you will want to reuse.

The test … Strawberry jam: Duchy Originals Strawberry jam
Duchy Originals Organic Strawberry
£2.29 for 265g, Waitrose
Despite having the pretty much standard 65% sugar, Duchy’s ­offering seems somehow sweeter than the rest – it tastes how you’d expect a good jam from the WI stall at a ­country fete to, and contains pleasing lumps of fruit.

The test … Strawberry jam: Mrs Bridges strawberry jam
Mrs Bridges Luxury Scottish Strawberry
£2.60 for 340g, www.mrsbridges.co.uk Smells of summer picnics with lovely whole berries, and great value for money.
