  1. In a bowl, combine the strawberries, jam, and 2 tablespoons of warm water. Set the mixture aside.

  2. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F.

  3. Using a blender, blend the flour, buttermilk, egg, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until the mixture becomes smooth.
