STRAWBERRY PRESERVES

A vintage recipe for strawberry preserves with no added pectin.
Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 quarts red, ripe strawberries
  • 5 cups sugar
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice

Preparation:
Wash and hull strawberries. Combine berries with sugar in a large stainless steel pan; let stand for 3 to 4 hours.

Bring strawberries to a boil slowly, stirring occasionally. Add lemon juice. Cook rapidly until strawberry mixture is clear and syrup is thick, about 15 minutes.

Pour mixture into a shallow pan and let stand, uncovered, for 12 to 24 hours. Ladle strawberry mixture into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Process for 20 minutes in a boiling water bath.
Makes four 8-ounce jars.

    I should have peppered the eggs for added interest but forgot. :)
