Preserving in jars (with boiled syrup)

How to make it

1. 1

   The jars are boiled out, that is, jars and lids are placed over the heat in cold water and boiled for 5 min. from when the pot boils. Dry in a clean oven, and insert a clean "cotton stopper".

2. 2

   Large, dry berries are packed into clean, dry bottles.

3. 3

   Boil the water with the sugar for 1/4 hour, skim well and pour cold over the berries.

4. 4

   The bottles are corked, placed in a pot with water and boiled for 15 min., and left standing in the water until it is cold.

5. 5

   This is repeated exactly 24 hours later.

6. 6

   The bottles are then tied over with parchment paper dipped in boric-acid water, or they are corked with well-soaked, clean corks and sealed with wax.
