About the dish

The second of Erken's strawberry jam recipes, where the berries first steep with sugar overnight so they keep their shape. Cognac on top of the jar was meant to prevent mold.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Layer the berries in sugar

    Sprinkle the sugar over the cleaned strawberries in the evening and let them stand until the next morning.

  2. 2

    Boil the berries

    Boil the berries over low heat for 15 minutes and skim well.

  3. 3

    Fill the berries into jars

    Lift the berries out gently with a slotted spoon and place them in warmed screw-top jars. Keep the jars warm in the oven, with the lids loosely on.

  4. 4

    Reduce the juice

    Let the juice keep boiling for 15 minutes and then pour it over the berries.

  5. 5

    Cognac and sealing

    Put a teaspoon of good cognac on top of each jar and screw the lids on tightly.

Frequently asked questions

Why must the berries stand with the sugar overnight?
The berries are sprinkled with sugar in the evening so they draw out juice. The next morning they are boiled over low heat for 15 minutes. Together this gives the long time of around 13 hours.
