Therefore, well inspect the fruits of strawberries, sort, pull out all the green stems from the berries. Then the strawberries are well washed in a colander under running water, so that the earth and other debris are removed. It is important that the water pressure is not strong, otherwise the integrity of the strawberry will be damaged. After washing the berries should be spread on a towel and dry.
• Ready strawberries need to shift into a large pot or bowl. At one time you need to cook no more than one kilogram of strawberries. Otherwise, the berries may lose their shape and be washed.
• In a separate container you need to cook syrup for jam. Be sure to cook in a non-oxidizing tank. Sugar should be put into this container and one hundred milliliters of water should be poured over it. Water should be warm or boiled. Next, put bask on fire average. It is necessary to stir the sugar until the last particles of sugar finally disappear. The syrup should boil for three to five minutes.

• After the syrup becomes colorless, it must be poured into a container with strawberries. Thus, the strawberry itself will not be cooked. First, the liquid will be at a small level, but then the berries will heat up, and juice will flow out of them. After one or two hours, they will be fully immersed in the syrup.
• After the syrup is completely cooled, you need to catch all the berries and move them to another container. The syrup itself must be boiled again and cooked for 5 minutes. After that, the berries need to be moved to the hot syrup again.

• So you need to repeat 2 more times at intervals of 2 hours. Over time, strawberries will also go from the juice. Before pouring strawberries for the last time, the berries must be pulled out of the syrup and placed in banks. It is desirable to use not very large cans (0.2 - 0.5 liters). Banks must be sterilized. Thus, our berries will not ferment in the jar. Berries should occupy two-thirds of the banks.
• In a separate container you need to put the gelatin and pour 50 ml of hot water. Gelatin needs to be heated until it is dissolved.Pour gelatin syrup and put the finished mixture to bask in the fire. To gelatin does not lose its properties, boil the syrup is not necessary. When bubbles appear in the syrup, it must be turned off. Ready syrup poured into jars with strawberries.
• The jam should be immediately closed and allowed to cool. When storing such jam in the refrigerator, the syrup thickens. At normal room temperature, such jam with gelatin will not differ from ordinary jam and will also be stored for about a year.
