Step 1:
How to make jam from wild strawberries for the winter? Prepare the products according to the list.
Step 2:
Go through the forest strawberries first, removing all the twigs, sticks and leaves. And then rinse thoroughly but very carefully in water. This is a very delicate and delicate berry, easily crumpled. If there has been a lot of rain and there is earth on the berries, then it is best to soak the forest strawberries in plenty of water beforehand, and then rinse and rinse carefully. Put the clean berries in a saucepan or saucepan.
Step 3:
Fill the pure berries of wild strawberries with sugar, shake the pan a little so that the sugar penetrates between the berries and leave for 2-3 hours at room temperature in order for the berry juice to stand out.
Step 4:
We will make jam in two approaches. Put a saucepan with berries and sugar on the fire a little more than average, stirring gently from time to time. You can add citric acid on the tip of the knife. So the jam will be better stored and its color will be brighter. After boiling, remove the foam and leave the jam at room temperature for a few more hours until it cools completely.
Step 5:
Then heat the jam again until boiling, stirring. Prepare cans for canning: pour boiling water over them or sterilize them in the oven, microwave, in a container with boiling water. Fill the prepared jars with hot jam. Seal tightly with sterile lids and turn over. Wrap it in something warm and leave it until it cools down completely. Send the finished jam for storage in a dark, dry room.
I took strawberries instead of wild strawberries. Which is slightly oblong in shape, with a pointed tip. Wild strawberries are round and often smaller. They are about the same size, much smaller than garden strawberries. The recipe is suitable for any berries, even larger ones. If your forest beauty is not too sweet (strawberries are still sweeter), you can add more sugar to the jam. That is, for one kilogram of berries, take 1.2 kilograms of sugar. I advise you to taste the jam - because the degree of sweetness is very different for everyone.
