Cooking

step-0
Strawberries are always first to clean, then moved and only then come off the sepals, so as not to lose the juice. Pour the strawberries with sugar in a cooking basin, and left overnight to bleed juice. In the morning bring to a boil, periodically shaking the pelvis, and remove from fire. Cook a little longer in the evening. Left overnight to cool down in the pelvis. In this case, the berries propityvayutsya syrup better than if the hot jam immediately pour into jars. If berries are very large, you can cook for 3 hours, boiling 2 times. You can add in jam gelatin (20 g per 1 kg of berries), it is obtained in the form of heat as regular jam, but if is in the refrigerator, it turns out very tender jelly. I am now it is all liquid jam, add in apricots and cherries, delicious!
step-1
To jam was not too thin, you need to collect the strawberries to the dry, hot weather. Preferably 1-2 days it didn't rain. If a berry is harvested from our own land, then it can not be washed, but if you need to wash, then wash in a sieve and dry thoroughly before refilling with sugar. Shortly before readiness to add in strawberry jam and lemon juice, this will prevent sugaring. I also added slices of grapefruit after 5 minutes, pull it out, otherwise it will be very bitter, and bitterness! And already before putting in jars, I put 1/2 spoon ginger (powder). Ready jam is spread along the banks.
step-2
Sometimes the hostess is cooked strawberry jam: recipe may not contain lemon juice or to provide a greater amount of sugar. Decided to experiment it may be advisable to start with making small portions. Then You will be able to find the optimal proportion and to appreciate the slogan "strawberry jam – perfect health". I got paludum, I love this:)
