Strawberry - very flavorful and tasty berry.It's a little different from his brother, garden strawberries, not only in size, but also taste.If you happen to gather up a few of the wild berries, cook jam from strawberries.This unsurpassed delicacy turns out very unusual.
Strawberry jam is prepared in several ways.The main thing is that it turned a beautiful color and retains all the aromas of the forest.For starters take one kilogram of berries and wash them very well.Since the forest strawberries has a relatively small size, then there are some problems.To facilitate the process, we take a colander and spread it strawberries.Then lowered it several times in a container with water and give to drain the fluid.Processing and pre-treatment of the berries does not take in this case a lot of time.You just need to go through them before this, removing debris and leaves.
washed berries poured sugar (about 1.5 kilograms).We leave them for a while to let strawberry juice.Then we put the container on fire and cook until the syrup.Do not forget to stir from time to time to jam strawberries not burnt.After boiling, cook the syrup for 20 minutes.If there is foam, then it should be removed.At the end of cooking add about 2 grams of citric acid or lemon juice.Spread sweet treat to banks and close lid.Store in a cool place.
following method takes a bit more of your time.You will need one kilo of strawberries.Berries also sort out and washed.Then you need to cook the syrup.Take half a cup of water and mix it with one kilogram of sugar.Boil syrup when it comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved, pour it into the prepared strawberries.Then cook the jam from strawberries for 5 minutes.Then remove it from the heat and merge syrup.We put it on the fire and bring to a boil again, with the addition of citric acid (2 grams).We spread the berries in syrup and cook for another 5 minutes.After that, we turn off the jam and after a few hours it decompose on the banks.
Another way of making jam from the berries is also long.To get started go to sleep one kilogram of wild berries in the same amount of sugar.Then we leave blank for several hours (8-9).Then put on the fire capacity.After boil, cook for 5 minutes.At the same time gently mix of strawberry jam, so as not to damage the fruit.This procedure should be repeated about 4-5 times.Only in this case, the berries are whole, and the final product is beautiful.If a drop of syrup hardens thick and fast, the jam is completely ready.Then we spill it in a pre-prepared jars and cover with lid.Stored strawberry jam in a cool place.
Strawberry and strawberries - a related plant.They are distinguished only locus.Therefore, if you are not able to collect wild berries, you can use the garden strawberries.Technology of preparation does not change.
Here is an example of preparation of strawberry jam with rhubarb.Take half a kilo of strawberries, rhubarb as much a kilo of sugar and a lemon.We prepare strawberries and cut each into four parts.Rhubarb cut into small slices, pre-clearing him from the outer fibers.Leaves do not use only the stems.Lemon cut into small pieces.Mix all the ingredients and fill with sugar.We leave for 8 hours.Then we put the container on fire and cook until the contents will not be thick.Spread the jam on banks and sealed lids.Enjoy your tea!
