We advise that you prepare all the above ingredients before starting.
You will typically need: a scale, measuring cups, mixing bowls.
Strawberry Jam
1 - Hull the strawberries with a sharp knife and dice them into small pieces on a cutting board.
Tip: We recommend you use a paring knife for this task. Sabatier knives are excellent French blades we recommend for professional and home cooks. We also love this reversible cutting board with integrated handgrips from John Boos.
2 - Transfer the strawberries into a saucepan (or like us a saucier pan).
Tip: All-Clad is the gold standard for professional quality stainless steel cookware.
3 - Juice one lemon using a manual juicer (or a lemon squeezer) and pour it over the diced strawberries.
4 - Add the sugar and the pectin. Then, give it a quick stir using a spatula (wooden/silicone) to combine.
5 - Cook on low heat for about 25 minutes. Stir from time to time to prevent the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Tip: It should cook on a soft boil to activate the pectin.
6 - Once the jam has thickened, transfer it into a large glass container and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
7 - After 1 hour, transfer the cold jam from the large glass container into an air-tight glass jar. Place it back in the fridge.
Raspberry Scones
1 - Combine the flour, cold butter, sugar, and baking powder into a food processor bowl.
Tip: Here, we are using the excellent Breville Sous Chef food processor. You may also use a stand mixer (using the paddle attachment) for this recipe. The KitchenAid Artisan Design Series and the KitchenAid Professional 600 Series are superstars among stand mixers and will look amazing in your kitchen!
2 - Zest the lime and the lemon over the food processor bowl, using a zester.
3 - Blend these ingredients together for about 5-10 seconds.
4 - Add the buttermilk, milk, and raspberries. Then, blend them until a dough forms.
5 - Place the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper and shape a disk with your hands 2 inches (5 cm) thick and chill it for 30 minutes.
6 - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
7 - Remove the first sheet of parchment paper and dust the dough with flour. Then, dust your countertop with flour and flip the scone dough on it. Remove the second sheet of paper and dust the other side of the dough with flour.
8 - Add some flour into a bowl. Then, dip a cookie-cutter ring into the flour and portion the scones (dip again between each cut). Gently reassemble the dough together to allow for more portions. Repeat until all the dough has been used.
9 - Transfer the scones to a baking tray lined with parchment paper (or a silicone mat) by hand or using a spatula.
10 - Crack an egg in a small mixing bowl and mix it with a whisk (or a fork) to combine the yolk and the white together.
Tip: We store our ingredients in these mixing bowls from Duralex while cooking. We love Duralex for their quality products and low prices!
11 - Gently brush the scones with the egg using a pastry brush (boar/silicone).
12 - Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 25 minutes.
13 - When ready, place the scones on a cooling rack to allow them to cool down before savoring.
14 - Cut the scones in half and spread some strawberry jam onto them.
15 - Enjoy!
