Preserves, Jellies, Etc

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Make a syrup by heating sugar with water until it reaches the right boiling point. Do not let it boil too long to avoid ruining the syrup.

  2. Add the unbroken fruit to the syrup and stir continuously while cooking.

  3. Use wooden spoons and enamelled pans to avoid any metallic taste.

  4. Keep all equipment clean and dedicated to preserving.
