Kitchen appliances and utensils

Starting to prepare sweets for the winter, many housewives ask themselves the question "What is it to cook them for?" Not so long ago, the myth was popular that the most delicious jam is obtained in copper utensils. But, recent research by scientists has debunked him. It turned out that copper releases substances that lead to the destruction of vitamins and beneficial properties of the berry.

Important! In the process of cooking, the vitamin supply of strawberries is not lost if you cook for long. Almost 100% of vitamins C, B6, B9, E, folic acid, zinc, organic acids, manganese, iron, calcium, tannins are stored and enter the body during the consumption of magic jam.

Aluminum and enamel dishes are not suitable for cooking goodies, but it is best to choose stainless steel equipment.

• wooden spoon for stirring;
• sterilized jars and caps for a twist (2 pcs);
• sealing key;
• gas or electric stove.

Essential Ingredients

The inventory is ready, now you need to provide the production process with the necessary ingredients. Oddly enough, but for the preparation of five-minute jam from wild strawberries, you will not need many components.

Main Products:  the berry itself and sugar, in a ratio of 3: 1, that is, it is necessary to take, for example, 3 cups of berries and 1 cup of sugar per 1 half liter jar. Such a short list of products for incomparable yummy.

Product Selection Features

These two varieties are distinguished by the size of the berries and the smell: the garden is much larger and sweeter, but loses with forest aroma. In addition, the concentration of nutrients in wild strawberries is three times higher than in the garden. Natural medicine justifies its value.

If you decide to harvest wild strawberries yourself, then you need to do this in mid-June - early July. When buying it in the market, pay attention to the size of the berries (they must be small), the aroma and color (bright red).

How to make jam: a step by step recipe with photos

Having collected inventory and products, you can immediately begin the process of preparing vitamin treats.

Berry preparation

The first step towards fragrant sweets for homemade gourmets is to prepare the berries. They must be cleaned of sepals, stalks, and grass, which could get into the dishes during collection. It is also necessary to remove unripe, or rotten berries.

Important! Wild strawberries are not advised to wash. But, if you doubt its purity, you can put the berry on a colander and rinse under a sharp stream of water, or drop it several times in a container of water. Such washing methods will not violate the integrity of the berries.

Stirring with sugar

It is necessary to pour the peeled berry in layers with sugar and let it brew for 3-4 hours, you can even leave it overnight to make the juice appear.

Cooking process

Many hostesses ask: “How to cook strawberry jam so that the berry does not waste its useful properties?” It's quite simple: the less you cook, the more useful it will be a treat.

In our case, put the infused mixture on the fire and bring to a boil. Cooking time - 5 minutes, actually from here the name of the recipe is “five minutes”. True, and this is not the end. During the cooking process, it is necessary to remove the foam, which, of course, is formed, and the procedure itself must be repeated two more times after the winter treat is completely cooled.

Did you know? Citric acid will not allow any jam or jam to be sugared.

Nuances and Tricks

If you add a pinch of acid, or the juice of fresh lemon at the end of cooking, you will gain even more unique taste characteristics.

Experienced hostesses advise you to use the following procedure for checking the readiness of the product: put the jam on a plate and stretch it in the middle with a spoon. If the strips do not stick together and do not spread, it is ready.

Many are also interested in why boil jam several times. Here the fact is that strawberries have a bitterness, to get rid of which, additional cooking processes help. It may help to remove the bitterness, which is sometimes added to a similar jam. Its amount should be 6 times less than the main berries.

How to cook strawberry jam so that the berries remain intact, many hostesses know, right? But how to make strawberry jam without boiling berries I will tell and show you today. According to this simple recipe, you will get aromatic, whole berries in a sweet and thick syrup - a fabulous treat for the whole family!

A prerequisite for any delicious strawberry jam can be called quality raw materials, that is, berries. In this case, try to choose a fragrant strawberry of a small size (closer to small), whole, dense and elastic. Crumpled or very large berries will not work - they will not keep their shape and even fall apart in mashed potatoes. The spoiled ones will become the cause of fermentation in the jar - you will have to throw away the sweet billet.

I would not recommend reducing the amount of granulated sugar for strawberry jam without cooking, as this is a preservative. In addition, various spices (cinnamon, cardamom and others) for our family personally do not combine well with this dessert: my family loves, so to speak, the pure taste and aroma of this fragrant berry.

In total, about 1 liter of strawberry jam without cooking is obtained from the specified amount of necessary ingredients. You can pick up banks of the volume that is more suitable for you. I used 3 jars with a capacity of 200 milliliters each and 1 half-liter jar in which I separately closed thick strawberry syrup.

Ingredients:

Cooking in steps with a photo:

Berries for this recipe are suitable medium-sized, elastic and of excellent quality. We sort out strawberries (substandard, that is, crumpled, you can use it to make strawberry jam or pastille, and boldly throw away the spoiled ones) and mine. To do this, we collect cold water in a large container, put the berries in it and let them swim for a minute - this way the sand will sink to the bottom. Gently mix the strawberries with your hands, then remove and transfer to a colander. It is important not to remove the stalks until the berries are clean. Otherwise, strawberries will absorb a large amount of water and become sour.

We remove the stalks and put the clean berries in a suitable container in volume. The weight of strawberries (1 kilogram) is indicated in the already prepared form.

Now we will prepare sugar syrup, which we will subsequently pour strawberries on. To do this, pour 800 grams of sugar in a small saucepan with a thick bottom or stewpan and pour 150 milliliters of water there (cold, hot, as you like).

We put the dishes on a strong fire and, stirring, bring the contents to a boil. When all the sugar has dissolved and the syrup boils, make a medium heat and cook for about 5-6 minutes. Do not forget to remove the foam!

Pour the boiling syrup with strawberries, slightly melting the berries with a spoon or spatula. Strawberries do not need to be disturbed!

In this position, leave the strawberries in syrup at room temperature until completely cooled - this can take a couple of hours. In the process of cooling, the strawberry will give the syrup its juice, color and aroma. The berries themselves will become slightly lighter and denser.

Gently pour the syrup back into the saucepan, bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes (remove the foam). During this time, sugar syrup slightly thickens due to evaporation of moisture.

A similar procedure should be carried out another 1-2 times (a total of 3-4 fillings). In the photo already cooled strawberries in syrup after 3 pouring syrup.

Now it remains to close the strawberry jam without cooking for the winter. To do this, you need to carefully prepare the jar and lids in advance in any way convenient for you. Most of all I like to do this in the microwave - for this workpiece I use 3 jars, with a capacity of 200 milliliters each and 1 can, with a capacity of 500 milliliters. Thoroughly wash the cans with soda or detergent, then rinse in cold water and pour 2 fingers on the bottom of each water. We put it in a microwave oven and at the highest power we steam everything together for about 6-7 minutes. I just wash the lids, put them in a saucepan, pour water (to completely cover the lids) and boil for about 5 minutes. Put them in three prepared 200 ml cans of berries. A half-liter jar will be needed a little later.

Berries are boiled in the widest possible dish so that in the process of preparing the layers as little as possible. Ideally, you should use a wide stainless steel dish or a large volume brass basin, however, you can cook small portions of strawberry jam in a slow cooker.
  Jam is cooked quite quickly, so it is better to prepare sterilized dry ware for storage in advance. It is best to pick up small cans of 0.5 or 1 liter.

How to cook wild strawberry jam?

Strawberry jam recipes differ mainly in the amount of sugar added. In all cases, the berries try to keep as low as possible on fire. In some cases, for a more pleasant taste, the hostesses add citric acid or a little red currant.

Classic Strawberry Jam Recipe

The standard recipe is suitable for making jam from any berries, because you can cook it in large volumes. Citric acid is added depending on the amount of strawberries and sugar. To make it easier to calculate the number of lemons, remember the proportion: 2g per 1kg of berries.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of strawberries;
• 1 1/2 kg of sugar;
• 2 g of citric acid.

Strawberries with sugar are set aside 3-4 hours before the juice is released. The workpiece is brewed in several stages. In the first round, the jam boils for 15 minutes, after complete cooling, the circle is repeated, but the boiling time is reduced to 10 minutes. The number of circles is 3-4. On the last lap, citric acid is added. Additional sterilization of jars of jam is optional.
  The recipe is also suitable for larger berries of garden strawberries.

Strawberry recipe in its own juice with sterilization

This recipe uses very little sugar. Usually, its deficiency leads to rapid damage to jam: fermentation, mold. To avoid this, a jar of prepared jam must be sterilized.
  The amount of ingredients varies depending on the capacity by which the jam will be laid out. You can even reduce the amount of sugar to a ratio of 3 to 1.
Ingredients:

• 2 glasses of strawberries;
• 1 cup of sugar.

The berries are covered with sugar and left for about 4 hours. During this time, the fruits will secrete a significant amount of juice. Without draining the juice, put the dishes on a small fire and cook, constantly stirring and removing the foam if necessary, cooking lasts 5 minutes from the moment of boiling.
  Next, the jam is laid out on the banks, but the covers are only covered. Towels are laid at the bottom of a large pan, jars of jam are placed on it, and hot water is already poured. It should reach the shoulders of cans. After boiling water, the cans are sterilized for 10 minutes. Then they are removed and twisted for long-term storage.

Strawberry Jam Recipe in a Multicooker

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of sugar;
• 2 tablespoons of water.

All ingredients are lowered into the multicooker bowl, the steam valve opens and the “Extinguishing” mode is selected. It takes 30 minutes to prepare the jam, but it does not require interfering with the dish or removing the foam. The container is sterilized in any convenient way: above steam, in the oven or microwave. Jars with blanks are not additionally sterilized.

How to make strawberry jam with currants without cooking

Ingredients:

• 1 cup strawberries;
• 2 cups sugar;
• 2 tablespoons of red currant.

Preserving the integrity of the berries for this sweet dessert is not very important, so if during the preparation part of the fruit accidentally crumpled, do not throw them away. The main thing is that the raw materials should not be spoiled. Raw jams must be stored in the refrigerator, as it spoils quickly at room temperature.

Cooking such a jam is not necessary at all, just mix all the ingredients thoroughly and pack in sterile jars.

But in order to increase the shelf life, the berries with sugar are simmered until the sugar crystals completely dissolve in the berry juice. This should happen much earlier than the jam approaches the boiling point. It’s not worth waiting for this moment, as in a strawberry five-minute period, so the jam is laid out on the banks immediately after the sugar has dissolved. It is best to use powdered sugar.
