What each ingredient does
- Strawberries
- Provide the fruit, bulk and flavour that the dish is built around.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the fruit and helps preserve it by binding water and limiting spoilage.
The step that matters
Bringing the strawberries to a boil. Boiling the fruit with sugar dissolves the sugar fully and heats the mixture enough to help it keep once sealed. Heating it too briefly or too long can leave the fruit undercooked or overcooked and the texture poor.
