PRO TIP: The strawberry jam in our scones is much thicker than your average store-bought jam. Much of the water is cooked out to ensure it stays in a firm layer in our scones during baking and doesn’t ooze out. If you are worried about the consistency of your jam, measure your yield. If you come in at ½ cup, you should cook your jam for a little longer—until you get to about that ¼ cup sweet spot.
