Cooking Sequence
1. Large and juicy strawberries should not be over-ripe. Berries wash, remove leaves and tails.
2. Sometimes the cooking process is stretched for two days: the berries are covered with sugar and they wait a day until the juice appears. With total employment, such a loss of time is a luxury. There are little tricks and express method of obtaining strawberry juice. First, the berries are cut into halves.
3. Then strawberries are poured over half the rate of sugar. A bowl of berries is tightened with a thin food wrap and placed on a place lit by the sun. After an hour and a half, half the berries will float in their own juice.
4. Pour strawberries and separated liquid into a saucepan, add water. This small amount of water will help to preserve the “correct” consistency of syrup, because strawberries in their own juice should not turn into jam.
5. Add the remaining sugar. Half a lemon is cut into cubes and thrown into a strawberry mass.
6. Cooked strawberries for 15 minutes at a moderate boil. Slices of lemon are caught and discarded. They have already given their light citrus flavor to the berries.
The contents of the pan quickly poured into a sterilized jar, screwed. Cool jar will be under a thick towel.
Strawberry delicacy is sent for long-term storage in a room with a moderately cool temperature. The taste is almost no different from fresh strawberry juice. If you like wet biscuits, you can soak the prepared cakes with strawberry juice and spread the berries on top.
