Strawberry Compote

How to make it

1. 1

   The berries must be dry and without blemish.

2. 2

   Sugar and water boil for 0.25 hour, are skimmed well, and poured boiling over the strawberries.

3. 3

   After 10 min. have passed, the juice is poured into the preserving pan and gently boils again for 0.25 hour.

4. 4

   The berries are placed in preserving jars or in jars with good corks; the boiling strawberry syrup is poured over them, and the jars are corked or screwed shut.

5. 5

   Place in a shallow cooking vessel filled with water reaching 0.75 up the sides of the jars. The water boils for 3 min.

   Now cold water is carefully poured in, in order to cool the jars as quickly as possible; these are taken out and wiped dry.

   Store in an airy, preferably dark place.
