What each ingredient does
- Strawberries
- Provide the fruit that forms the body and flavor of the preserve.
- Sugar
- Adds sweetness and helps preserve the fruit by drawing out moisture.
The step that matters
Seal immediately after filling. The hot mixture must be sealed while still hot so that a vacuum forms as it cools, keeping air and spoilage microbes out of the cans.
