Strawberry jam with whole berries

Strawberry jam with whole berries is easy to cook. The process may take a couple of days, but it is absolutely not time consuming. Ready-made jam can be used in different ways: serve in a bowl with a slice of white bread, wrap in dough and serve in the form of pies, dumplings or as a cake (open or closed). In order to keep the billet well, not to ferment, you need to take a sufficient amount of sugar - in the ratio of 1 to 1 with strawberries. The jam will turn out to be liquid, even if you do not plan to add water - it’s all about the juiciness of the berries.

List of ingredients:

  • 1 kg of strawberries,
  • 1 kg of sugar,
  • 1/5 tsp. citric acid.

Cooking

If it grew low, falling into the ground, then there is a lot of sand on it and you will have to wash each berry by hand. Otherwise, the jam can crackle on the teeth, which is not very nice. After washing the berries, remove the tails. Damaged or insect-eaten berries should not be used.
