What each ingredient does
- Strawberries
- Provide the fruit, flavor and juice that cooks down into the finished syrup.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the fruit, balances its tartness and helps preserve it.
The step that matters
Canning while hot and sealing immediately. Filling hot fruit into jars and sealing it right away drives out air. As the jars cool, the contents contract and form a vacuum seal, which helps keep the fruit safe to store.
