Strawberries with sugar, pureed without cooking

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to grind strawberries with sugar for the winter? To do this, you only need to measure out 2 ingredients. Take freshly picked, ripe berries. I store part of the preparation in the refrigerator, so the proportions of berries and sugar were 1:1.25 so that the strawberries would last longer. If the berries will be stored in a cooler cellar, you can take the amount of berries and sugar in a 1:1 ratio.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sort the strawberries and remove the sepals. If you come across spoiled berries, remove them completely. They can cause deterioration in the quality of the workpiece during winter storage.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse the berries thoroughly under cold water. Place the strawberries on a clean cloth to drain excess moisture and dry the berries.

4. STEP 4

   

   Take a capacious pan or container of suitable volume. Do not use aluminum cookware to avoid harmful interaction between the metal and the acid contained in the berry. Place the strawberries in a saucepan and add about half the sugar.

5. STEP 5

   

   Blend the berries and sugar with an immersion blender until completely smooth.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the remaining sugar into the resulting puree and mix thoroughly.

7. STEP 7

   

   Leave the berries at room temperature until the sugar dissolves, about 1-1.5 hours. Stir the mixture periodically to help the sugar dissolve faster.

8. STEP 8

   

   Wash the jars intended for storing the workpiece well. Sterilize jars and lids. Detailed information about sterilization rules can be found at the link at the end of the recipe.

9. STEP 9

   

   When the sugar is completely dissolved, mix the strawberry puree well again and pour into jars. Close the jars with sterilized lids. You can roll the workpiece or screw it with screw caps. From the specified amount of ingredients, I got 2.8 liters of preparation. Strawberries, ground with sugar, must be stored in a cold, dark place. At an optimal storage temperature of 2-4 degrees, such a product can be stored for 6-7 months.

10. STEP 10

    

    Strawberries, ground with sugar, are good as an independent dessert. It can be added when cooking jelly and compotes. Bon appetit!

It’s really simple and tasty, and this is also how I prepare strawberries for the winter. I really like strawberry jam. Throughout the year it can be used as a filling for pies and other baked goods.

At the height of the strawberry season I decided to make “raw” jam. To test, I counted the amount of berries to 300 g. I punched it with an immersion blender, mixed it with sugar and left it for three hours. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon. Then I put it in a jar and put it in the refrigerator. I really liked the taste of strawberries with sugar, ground for the winter. True, it didn’t last until winter, so I won’t tell you how it was stored) My husband found the jar and ate it all in two days) The ground strawberries turned out to be of a uniform consistency, smooth. After the sugar dissolved, the puree became brighter. Strawberries are delicious, sweet, wonderful aroma! And also a storehouse of vitamins. I will definitely make more jars.

Strawberries mashed with sugar are my favorite dessert. I store the preparation in the freezer, so I put less sugar and be sure to add whole berries to the puree. When simply frozen, they significantly lose their aroma and become watery, but in this case they remain as fresh. This is not a recipe, it's just a bomb)) An explosion of color, taste and just a good mood is guaranteed for you! Julia, thank you for the recipe!

simple preparation. I cook in the proportion of sugar: strawberries 1 to 1. Otherwise it’s cloying. I spin it in a blender or mixer along with sugar. I put them in cleanly washed plastic mayonnaise jars or sour cream glasses and put them in the freezer. It can be stored there any time! and the taste of the berries is very fresh even in winter, when you really want a piece of summer!
