Strawberry- Jelly

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Gather strawberries on a dry day after the morning dew has passed.

  2. Remove the stalks and place strawberries in an enamelled saucepan over high heat.

  3. Gently stir with a wooden or silver spoon until the juice flows abundantly.

  4. Simmer for about 30 minutes, ensuring not to over-boil until thick or pulpy.

  5. Strain the juice through a clean sieve into a pan and let it drip until no more juice comes out.

  6. Weigh the juice and boil it quickly in a clean preserving pan for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often.
