Strawberry Blanks: Jam, Jam, Compote And Liqueur

At the height of the strawberry season, when fresh berries are already full, we suggest preparing several jars of bright red summer berries for the winter!

So, we share recipes for making strawberries in our own juice, strawberry jam and jam, compote and tincture. We also tell you how to freeze and dry strawberries.

Strawberries in their own juice 

Such a fragrant jam with a bright taste will be the best addition to homemade tea drinking! Arrange strawberries in jars, sprinkle with sugar and refrigerate until juice is released. Then cover the jars with lids and place in a saucepan. Pour warm water into a saucepan, bring to a boil and continue to boil for 15 minutes. Store jars of jam in a cool place. Enjoy!

Strawberry compote

Prepare a fragrant compote with the taste of summer!

Ingredients:

1.5 kg of strawberries; 2.5 st. Sahara; 2.5 liters of water.

First of all, wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the sepals. Arrange the berries in sterilized jars, filling them with about a quarter of the jars. Pour water into a saucepan, bring to a boil and add sugar. Once the sugar has dissolved and the water has returned to a boil, remove the syrup from the heat. Pour the syrup over the strawberries. Close the jars with tin lids and place in a deep saucepan, on the bottom of which lay a thick cloth in advance. Pour warm water into the pan almost up to the "neck" of the jar and sterilize for 10 minutes over medium heat. Then roll up the jars, turn over and cover with a towel overnight. Store compote jars in a cool place.

Wild strawberry jam 

Wild strawberries have a special taste and aroma. Let's make jam out of it!

Rinse the strawberries well, remove the tails and transfer to a saucepan. Sprinkle the berries with sugar, cover the pan with a lid and leave overnight in the refrigerator. In the morning, bring the jam to a boil, boil for a few minutes and let cool completely. Then bring the jam back to a boil, continue to cook for 5 minutes, pour hot into jars and roll up. Help yourself!

Strawberry pour

Prepare a delicate-tasting, fragrant liqueur with strawberries!

Ingredients:

2 kg strawberries; 700 g of sugar; 1 lemon (zest); 1 vanilla stick.

Wash the strawberries well, remove the sepals. Transfer the berries to a three-liter jar, add lemon zest and vanilla stick, add sugar. Cover the neck of the jar with gauze and secure with string. Leave the jar in a warm place for 2-4 days before fermentation begins. As soon as the fermentation process begins, remove the gauze and install a water seal (you can make it yourself from a plastic cap and a tube). Move the jar to a dark place for 2-3 weeks until the fermentation process is complete. Strain the finished liquor several times through cheesecloth, bottle and cork with corks or lids. Store liquor bottles in a dark, cool place.

Fried strawberry jam 

Have you tried fried strawberries? If not, then be sure to try it! Send strawberries and sugar to a hot pan, cook on medium until sugar is completely dissolved. Then reduce the heat and cook the strawberries for another 5-7 minutes. Add lemon juice, pour the jam into sterilized jars and roll up. Try!

frozen strawberries

A recipe idea for those who wish to preserve whole berries and add them to pastries, desserts and drinks.

Remove the sepals from the strawberries and rinse well, then drain in a colander to drain the water. After 5-10 minutes, transfer the berries to a paper towel in one layer and dry (the berries should be completely dry). Cover a tray or large cutting board with cling film, put the berries on it in one layer and send it to the freezer overnight. Then transfer the already frozen berries to plastic containers and store in the freezer until use. Thus, your berries do not stick together and remain whole. Also, before freezing, dry berries can be rolled in sugar or powdered sugar.

Note: frozen berries can be stored for up to 12 months.

Dried strawberries

It's delicious, be sure to try it! 

Ingredients:

500 g strawberries; 400 g of sugar; 3/4 st. water.

Rinse the strawberries and dry well: first, drain in a colander, then place on paper towels. Remove the stalks and sprinkle the strawberries with 200 g of sugar. Place the berries in the refrigerator overnight. Use a colander to separate the berries from the released juice.

From the remaining sugar (300 g) and water, boil the syrup: pour sugar into boiling water and cook until it is completely dissolved, stirring constantly. Then send the berries to the syrup and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the berries and syrup cool completely.

Separate the berries from the syrup again with a colander. Spread the berries on the dryer trays and dry at 70 degrees. Depending on the variety and size of the berries, a different amount of time will be dried. Already dry berries can be left for several days at room temperature, then put in a jar or container.

Add sun-dried strawberries to pastries, cereals or simply serve with tea. By the way, you can cook compote from the remaining strawberry juice and syrup, make lemonade by adding water, a few mint leaves, lemon juice and ice, or soak a biscuit. Bon appetit!

Charlotte Cake

30-35 savoiardi cookies (lady fingers)

for the syrup:

3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup water

For filling:

200 g sugar 2 eggs 200 ml milk 1 tsp. vanilla extract 15 g gelatin 2 tbsp. l. water 500 ml heavy cream a handful of strawberries for garnish

Boil the syrup from water and sugar, to do this, bring the mixture to a boil, then, stirring, cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

Prepare a detachable form. Dip the cookies in the syrup (very quickly!) and place them firmly on the sides of the mold. Then line the bottom with cookies. You can leave a few "fingers" to make a layer of cookies in the center when assembling the cake.

Whip the chilled cream until stiff peaks form.

And we prepare the Bavarian cream like this. Pour gelatin into a small bowl over water and leave for 10 minutes.

In a metal bowl, lightly beat the eggs and sugar with a whisk. Place the bowl in a water bath so that its bottom does not touch the boiling water. Pour in the milk. Stirring, cook the cream until the first signs of boiling. Once the mixture thickens, remove from heat. Add the gelatin and stir with a wooden spoon until the cream has cooled. Add cream to the cooled mass, mix with a spatula, raking the mass from below. At this stage, you can add 100 g of candied fruits to the mass, if you want.

Pour half of the cream into the biscuit mold. Then lay out a layer of cookies soaked in syrup (if you decide to do it) and add the cream again. Smooth out. Wrap the form with the future cake with cling film and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

The finished cake must be carefully selected from the mold and decorated with strawberries. Enjoy!

Stepping back from the edge by 4 cm, distribute the berries, sprinkle with sugar. Raise and glue the sides. Put a few pieces of butter in the berries.
