Tie the spices in muslin and put bag, zest and juice, with a little water to cover, in a preserving pan. Simmer until the zest is really tender then remove the bag. Add strawberries and lemon juice, stir in remaining sugar until dissolved then boil rapidly until thick. Bottle into hot, sterile jars and seal.
