Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams Fresh strawberries
- 800 grams Granulated sugar
- 30 milliliters Lemon juice
- 1 whole Lemon zest
Instructions
Start by thoroughly washing the strawberries under cold running water. Hull the strawberries and cut them into halves or quarters if they are large.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, taking care not to let the mixture boil too early.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent the fruit from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Continue to cook the mixture, occasionally skimming off any foam that forms on the surface with a spoon.
After about 20 minutes, begin testing the thickness of the confiture. To do this, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate and let it cool for a minute. If the confiture wrinkles when pushed with your finger, it’s ready.
Once the desired consistency is achieved, remove the saucepan from heat.
Carefully ladle the hot confiture into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue, and seal with lids.
Allow the jars to cool to room temperature, then store in the refrigerator. The confiture can be stored for up to 3 months if properly sealed.
