What each ingredient does
- Strawberries
- Provide the fruit that is softened and set in the sweet syrup.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the fruit and helps preserve it by drawing out moisture.
The step that matters
Boil briskly for 3 to 4 minutes. A brisk boil for the stated time helps the syrup thicken and the fruit cook evenly. Too little boiling leaves the syrup thin, and too much can break the berries down.
