How to make strawberry jam

Small aromatic berries should be sorted thoroughly to remove spoiled berries, if any.

Remove the tails with a knife, so the berry will remain intact and not deformed. Wash under running water.

Pour the strawberries into a convenient container and cover with sugar. Stir with a wooden spatula. Leave for a couple of hours until it releases the juice.

Place the berries in the syrup on the fire until they boil. Turn off the heat and put the jam in a cool place until it cools completely (about 3.5 hours).

Then repeat the procedure by bringing to a boil. After boiling, cook for about 5-6 minutes. There is no need to keep it on the fire any longer. This will help preserve all the beneficial substances, and the berries will not lose their beautiful scarlet color.

Pour strawberry jam over prepared jars and roll up with a special key.

Turn the jars over and wrap them in a towel.

Leave it like this until the workpiece has completely cooled, after which it is sent to a cold place for long-term storage. If, of course, you manage to resist the temptation and open the strawberry jam right away.

On winter evenings, there is no better treat than strawberry jam. It will give you a boost of strength, help overcome winter vitamin deficiency and improve your mood.
