Cómo preparar Vera's Strawberry Preserves
- Wash and hull 4 pounds of fresh strawberries.
- In a large, non-reactive saucepan, combine the strawberries, 4 cups of granulated sugar, 1 cup of water, and 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for approximately 20 minutes, or until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
- Begin shaking the pan gently (Vera's secret!) while maintaining a low simmer. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes, shaking frequently to prevent sticking and to ensure even cooking.
- Increase heat to medium and boil rapidly for another 20 minutes, while vigorously shaking, to further concentrate the preserves.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.
- Ladle the hot preserves into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims clean, place lids and bands on the jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time according to your altitude).
- Remove jars from the canner and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
