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!
