Share:
Ingredients
- 4 cups firm strawberries halved or quartered (depending on size)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon butter optional
Instructions
- Mix the berries with the sugar and let stand for 8 hours. Stir occasionally to distribute the sugar through the berries.
- Place the berry and sugar mixture in a medium non-reactive pan (stainless steel or enamel) and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the lemon juice, return to boiling and allow to boil rapidly for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, bring the mixture to a full boil over high heat, add butter (optional but recommended), and boil rapidly for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
- Ladle into sterile jars. Apply caps and rings and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath..
- Remove the jars and place them on a kitchen towel until cooled completely (about 24 hours).
Notes
- Makes about 3 half-pints.
- Note: The total time includes only 1 hour of hands-on time for this recipe. There is inactive standing/resting time of approximately 32 hours.
