Zubereitung von Strawberry Preserves
- Cap and rinse 4 cups of fresh strawberries. Place them in a large colander.
- Pour boiling water over the strawberries and let them drain for 1 minute.
- Combine the drained strawberries and 1 cup of granulated sugar in a large Dutch oven.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Boil for 7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar.
- Continue to boil for an additional 7 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into a shallow 13x9-inch baking pan.
- Skim off any foam that rises to the surface using a metal spoon.
- Let the mixture stand, uncovered, in a cool place for 12 hours. Gently shake the pan occasionally to ensure the strawberries absorb the syrup and remain plump.
- After 12 hours, skim off any remaining foam.
- Carefully pour the preserves into sterilized half-pint jelly jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
- Cover the preserves in each jar with a 1/8-inch layer of melted paraffin wax (optional, for longer shelf life).
- Securely attach lids to the jars.
