What each ingredient does
- Strawberries
- Provide the fruit, flavor and texture that the sugar draws out and preserves.
- Powdered sugar
- Draws moisture out of the fruit and forms a syrup that helps preserve it.
The step that matters
Boiling the strawberries with the remaining sugar. Boiling concentrates the syrup and firms the fruit's texture. Cooking too long breaks the berries down and can scorch the sugar, so keep the heat controlled and watch the fruit closely.
