Cooking Instructions

Step 1
Begin by gathering a large stockpot and adding hulled strawberries, white sugar, vinegar or lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Place the pot over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the mixture comes to a vigorous boil.

Once it reaches that rolling boil, keep stirring and allow it to cook for 15 to 20 minutes, monitoring the temperature until it hits 220°F or 105°C.

When the preserves are ready, carefully ladle the hot mixture into sterilized jars, ensuring to leave about half an inch of headspace at the top.
Step 5
Secure the jars with lids and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to guarantee proper preservation.

Enjoy the sweet taste of summer all year round with your homemade strawberry preserves!.
