What could be better than fragrant strawberry jam? This delicious preparation for the winter will be most welcome to pancakes, cheesecakes, cheesecakes or a cup of hot tea. This jam was prepared by my grandmother. I am happy to share the “family” recipe.
Ingredients
- Strawberry liqueur - 1 kg
- Sugar - 1 kg
Step-by-step cooking recipe
Pick ripe strawberries, remove the tails, rinse in cold water and throw them into a colander. Cut large berries in half so that the juice is released faster.
Cover the berries with sugar and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
After the specified time, drain the strawberry juice into a cooking bowl. Heat the syrup over low heat, stirring constantly.
Put the berries and the remaining unsolved sugar in the hot syrup. Stir and bring to a boil.
Boil the workpiece over high heat for 10 minutes, not forgetting to stir. Collect the resulting foam and remove it from the fire.
Beat the strawberries together with the syrup in a blender until smooth.
Return the sweet strawberry mass back to the cooking bowl. Boil the strawberry jam, stirring constantly, over medium heat until thickened. It usually takes me 20-25 minutes.
Pour the ready-made hot strawberry jam into pre-sterilized jars, twist with sterile lids, turn upside down, wrap with a blanket and leave to cool completely. For long-term storage, I advise you to move the jars of jam to a cool, dark place.
