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.
Layer the berries in sugar
Sprinkle the sugar over the cleaned strawberries in the evening and let them stand until the next morning.
Boil the berries
Boil the berries over low heat for 15 minutes and skim well.
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.
Reduce the juice
Let the juice keep boiling for 15 minutes and then pour it over the berries.
Cognac and sealing
Put a teaspoon of good cognac on top of each jar and screw the lids on tightly.
"Pounded caster sugar" is modernized to fine-grained sugar (caster). The amount of sugar is interpreted as ¾ kg from the OCR. The method is divided into steps and written in modern language.
