What each ingredient does
- Sugar
- Adds sweetness and helps draw juice from the strawberries to form a syrup.
- Strawberries
- Provide the main fruit flavor, color, and liquid that becomes the syrup.
The step that matters
Fill with hot mixture and seal immediately. Filling hot and sealing right away drives out air and lets the contents create a vacuum as they cool, which helps the lids seal properly and keeps the fruit safe to store.
