The proposed dessert is made as a billet for the winter. However, even if it ends quickly, it can be prepared right in the winter - from pre-frozen berries. Due to the short duration of cooking, berry fruits are preserved whole, voluminous, and they swim appetizingly in syrup. The only thing that changes - berry shade.

Classic for this recipe the proportion of granulated sugar and strawberry fruit is 1: 1. However, this ratio can be changed to your liking. The more berries, the thicker get a treat. It is also possible to add other components.

Since the strawberries will be processed quickly, it is recommended to cook in small portions. So all the berries can warm up evenly. For one cooking procedure take no more than two kilograms of fruit.

It is important to note that the dessert may turn out to be more liquid than expected. So it will be because of the short boiling time. In five minutes, the mass will not have time to boil down. However, low density does not prevent this delicacy from being tasty and healthy. Such jam is usually eaten instantly.

The taste qualities of the berry preparation are determined by the quality of the fruits used and by how carefully they are selected. The following recommendations should be considered.

• It is better to add personally picked berries, and not bought in the store. So there will be confidence in the quality and freshness of the product.
• For harvesting it is recommended to use only ripe and freshly picked fruit. If the strawberry is ripe, the taste of the dessert will not be so tender.
• Too small, as well as wrinkled and damaged fruits should be removed.
• Immediately after collecting the fruit must be sorted, separated sepals and rinse thoroughly. The latter should be done carefully - not to push and not to damage the strawberries.

• Washed berries are placed in a sieve or colander - to eliminate excess liquid. At the end, the fruits are gently laid out on a sterile cloth, such as a towel, allowing them to dry.
• To preserve the integrity and attractiveness of the berries during cooking, jam is not recommended to interfere with a spatula or spoon. Instead of using them, you only need to raise the pot with a certain frequency and rotate it in a circle, shaking it a little.
• It is best to cook in a basin of copper alloys or in vessels of brass or stainless steel. However, if the portion is very small, you can use a simple saucepan with a thick multi-layer bottom.

• Usually in this recipe do not resort to water. Only granulated sugar and berries. In some cases citric acid is added. During the process of fermentation, the fruit actively secrete juice, so there is no need to add liquid. In addition, vitamins and attractive appearance are better preserved. The main thing is to ensure that the mass does not burn.
• Before cooking, it is desirable to make sure that the berries give juice. For this purpose, they are left for 4-5 hours or more. As a result, juicy sugar syrup is released in which the fruit is cooked.

• The container is placed on the stove. When the composition begins to boil, it is necessary to eliminate the resulting foam. And after that, it is necessary to boil the mass for exactly 5 minutes.
• Dessert is immediately poured into jars - without cooling.Then twist well and turn over. After cooling the banks clean in a cool place.
• It is desirable that the volume of cans does not exceed 1 liter. Before cooking, they are washed with hot water using detergent, then placed in the oven for 10 minutes. The main thing is to see that no cracks form on the glass walls.

If all the above recommendations are observed, the jam will turn out to be pleasant to the taste, beautiful in appearance and will be able to delight the whole winter.
