In a saucepan, mix sugar and pectin. They must be thoroughly mixed with each other in order to subsequently avoid the formation of lumps. And in the same pan, add the chopped strawberries.
Thoroughly mix the contents. And put on medium heat.
As it heats up, the mass will begin to thicken. After it boils, we cook our jam for only 3-4 minutes!

A beautiful garden that blooms throughout the season is unimaginable without perennials.

Radish salad with egg and mayonnaise, which I made from Chinese radish. This radish is often called Loba radish in our stores. Outside, the vegetable is covered with a light green peel, and in the cut it turned out to be pink flesh that looks exotic.

Strawberries in their own juice for the winter: how to preserve the aroma and taste of berries. Recipes for canning strawberries in their own juice for the winter
The strawberry season is very short, and I want to keep this tasty and fragrant berry as much as possible for the winter. Strawberries are quite capricious, and you need to try very hard to indulge yourself with a delicious berry in winter. You can, of course, freeze the berry, but, alas, after defrosting it loses its appearance. Such a berry can only be used for making fillings for pies or cooking compote and jelly.
Strawberries in their own juice for the winter - the basic principles of cooking
Strawberries can be harvested for the winter in many ways. Compotes, jams and jams are made from it. But at the same time, the berry wrinkles, and the preparation itself requires a large amount of sugar.
The most successful way is to prepare strawberries in your own juice. Yes, this method requires more time and effort, but the result is worth it.
For harvesting strawberries in their own juice for the winter, half-liter jars are used, since sterilization in them takes a little time, which means that the berries will retain more benefits and taste. Banks are washed with soda and rinsed thoroughly. Then they are sterilized over hot steam or in the oven and dried. Lids are also sterilized.
Strawberries are sorted, damaged and rotten are removed, and then washed thoroughly. Then the berries are laid out on a towel and slightly dried.
Strawberries are transferred to an enameled basin and covered with sugar, the amount of which is indicated in the recipe, and left overnight so that the berry releases juice.
Then the strawberries are laid out in sterile jars and sterilized in a wide saucepan, laying a towel on the bottom or laying a wire rack.
Recipe 1. Strawberries in their own juice for the winter (1 way)
five kilograms of strawberries;
1. We sort out the strawberries, leaving only whole ones, without signs of damage and decay. Remove stems and wash.
2. Jars, with a volume of half a liter, wash them with soda, and rinse them thoroughly. Then we sterilize them over steam or in the oven.
3. We lay out the berries in clean, dry jars, stuffing them to the top. You should get about 15 jars. Pour 100 g of granulated sugar into each and send it to the refrigerator overnight so that the berry begins to give juice.
4. Strawberries will release juice and settle. Now we distribute the strawberries with juice from one jar over two others, filling them to the “shoulders”, and cover with a lid. We do the same with other banks.
5. We put the jars in a wide pan and fill it with warm water so that its level reaches the “shoulders” of the jars. Put the pot on high heat and bring the water to a boil. We sterilize the jars for about five minutes. Then we take out the jars, quickly cork tightly with lids. If there are sugar crystals on the bottom, gently turn the jar until they dissolve. We store the workpiece in the basement.
Recipe 2. Strawberries in their own juice for the winter (2nd way)
three quarters of a glass of sugar;
1. Carefully sort through the strawberries, remove the crushed and spoiled berries. Separate the stems. Pour cold water over strawberries and let sit for five minutes. Then take the strawberries out of the water and put them in a colander.
2. Prepare lids and jars. Wash jars with baking soda. Boil the lids for three minutes. Rinse the jars and sterilize them by steaming or in the oven for five minutes. Wipe sterile jars dry. Pour two heaping tablespoons of sugar into each.
3. Put a layer of strawberries on top of the sugar, sprinkle the berries with sugar (in the amount of 1.5 tablespoons). Fill jars to the top with strawberries, sprinkling them with sugar. Then gently shake the jar so that all the voids are filled and fill with the remaining sugar.
4. Cover the jars with gauze or a bandage folded in three layers, and leave them alone for three hours. The berries will give juice, the sugar will dissolve slightly, and the contents of the jar will settle slightly.
5. Cover the jars with lids and place them in a wide saucepan with warm water, after covering the bottom with a towel folded three times to make the jars.
6. Bring the water in a saucepan over low heat to a boil and sterilize the jars for half an hour. Be careful not to let the water boil violently. Seal the sterilized jars tightly, turn the lid down and cool without wrapping. Store strawberries in their own juices in a basement or other cool place.
Recipe 3. Strawberries in their own juice for the winter with lemon
100 ml of boiled water.
1. Strawberries should be juicy and large. Sort the berries, remove the damaged ones and clean them from the tails and leaves. Wash the strawberries, put in a colander and leave to get rid of excess moisture. Then spread the berries on a towel and dry.
2. Cut the berries in half and place in a single layer in a bowl. Sprinkle with sugar. So lay out all the strawberries, sprinkling it with sugar. To do this, use half the amount of sugar. Then tighten the bowl with berries with cling film and place in a sunny place. After an hour and a half, the strawberries will release juice.
3. Pour the strawberries with the allocated juice into the pan and pour in the water. This is done so that the syrup has the “right” consistency, because we cook strawberries in our own juice, not jam.
4. Pour in the remaining sugar. Cut half a lemon into cubes and add to the strawberries.
5. Put the pan on the fire and cook for a quarter of an hour. Strawberry mass should not boil intensively! Take out the lemon slices and throw them away. The lemon should give the berries a light citrus flavor.
6. Pour the contents of the pan into a sterile jar and close the lid tightly. Cool strawberries in their own juice under a thick towel or blanket. Store the workpiece in the basement or any other cool place.
Recipe 4. Strawberries in own juice with citric acid
strawberries - 1000 g;
citric acid - 3 g;
granulated sugar - 350 g.
1. Strawberries for this recipe, take not too large. Berries, preferably recently plucked from the garden, sort out and remove rotten and damaged ones. Thoroughly drink strawberries, put in a sieve and leave to drain water. Then put the berries on a napkin so that they dry slightly. Transfer the prepared strawberries to an enamel bowl, sprinkling it with sugar. Leave the berries overnight.
2. Pour the separated strawberry juice into a separate saucepan and send it to the fire. Bring the juice almost to a boil, adding citric acid to it.
3. Wash half-liter jars with baking soda, rinse them well and sterilize over steam or in the oven. Wipe the jars thoroughly. Boil the lids for five minutes. Arrange the berries in jars, and fill the strawberries with hot juice so that its level does not reach two centimeters to the neck.

3. Strain the juice into a saucepan. Put the saucepan on the fire and bring to a boil. Put the strawberries in a single layer on a sieve and gently immerse in boiling syrup. Blanch the berries for about 20 seconds. We shift the blanched strawberries into dry sterile jars, filling them by a third. We put all the strawberries in this way.
4. Pour the remaining sugar into the syrup, bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and pour the berries in jars with the resulting syrup. Cover with lids.
5. We cover the bottom of a wide pan with a napkin folded three times, put jars of strawberries in it and pour water over the shoulders. We put on fire and sterilize from the moment of boiling, ten minutes. Seal jars tightly and cool without wrapping.
