How to store strawberry ingredients

• 3kg strawberries
• 3kg of sugar

Preparation

2. Next, you need to carefully clean the berries, get rid of the roots. If you come across large fruits, you can cut. Then take sugar and strawberries in a ratio of 1: 1. At the bottom of a large bowl, pour a little sugar, then a layer of strawberries. So we sprinkle all the berries. We leave some sugar, we'll need it later.
   
   
   
   
3. Leave strawberries for 3 hours. During this time, we stir several times. Strawberries will release the juice, and the sugar will dissolve a little.
   
   
   
   
4. In the meantime, prepare small jars. They must be clean and dry. You can sterilize them just in case. Pour strawberries into jars almost to the top, leaving a little space. In the video below you can see the process.
