1. Put alternate layers of strawberries and sugar in a basin. Cover and leave to stand in the fridge for 24 hours.
2. Transfer the fruit and sugar to a pan, bring slowly to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour back into the basin (or if you are using a stainless steel pan just leave it in it) cover, and leave on the side for another 24 hours.
3. Transfer to a pan or if you didn't transfer to a bowl put the pan with the fruit and sugar mixture back on the hob and bring to the boil (not too fast in case of burning), and boil until setting point is reached. I boiled it for 8 minutes and it set first time.
4. Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little until the fruit begins to sink in the syrup.
5. Stir and pour into small, hot sterilized jars. Cover immediately.
