About the dish
Canning in jars at low temperature was new and modern in 1914 and got a lot of space in Erken's preserving chapter. The berries hold their shape when sterilized at only 80 °C (175 °F).
How to make it
- 1
Make the syrup
Stir the sugar into the water to make a syrup.
- 2
Fill the jars
Pack the cleaned berries tightly and firmly into the jars and pour the syrup over.
- 3
Sterilize
Seal the jars and sterilize them for 20 minutes at 80 °C (175 °F).
Changes from the original
Measures are written in modern units. It is specified that the syrup is made of sugar and water, and that the jars are sealed before sterilizing; otherwise the method is unchanged.
