Erken writes that she preserved berries this way "on her own responsibility", and reminds readers that raw juice should not be boiled, since the vitamin C is to be preserved.
Fill the jar
Fill the jar with selected berries.
Boil the syrup
Boil a syrup of 1 l water and 300 g sugar and cool it to room temperature.
Benzoate and pour
Dissolve 1 g sodium benzoate in 1 tbsp water, stir it into the syrup and pour the syrup over the berries.
Seal and store
Screw the jar shut and put it in a good cellar.
Note
Sodium benzoate is a food additive (E211) with regulated use. Raw juices are not meant to be boiled in porridge and the like, since the vitamin C is to be preserved; shake the bottle before use.
The text is in the first person and has been rewritten as instructions. "Benzoesurt natron" is written as sodium benzoate. Food safety advice is added.
