Engaged in home canning, every housewife tries to ensure that, on the one hand, the products are tasty and retain a maximum of useful properties, and on the other, that they do not deteriorate and stand the due time in a quality suitable for eating. With jams, this does not always happen, because, undergoing a long heat treatment, they lose a lot from their healing supply. Secrets of fast cooking help to fix the matter. For example, this strawberry jam: the recipe "Five minutes".
The components are taken in a ratio of 1: 1.5 (strawberries / sugar). Not every berry is suitable, but only strong and better small - it will remain whole, not ferment. So, put the strawberries in a bowl or pan, boil the syrup, removing the foam (a glass of water + sugar), then mix with the berries. Let the fire be strong, do not diminish it. The syrup will begin to boil, and it is necessary, just stir. Note the time - in 5 minutes the strawberries should boil. After that, remove the pan, cover with a lid pre-wrapped with paper towels. From above, also insulate and leave the workpiece to cool. The towels absorb moisture, which will evaporate during cooling, and the jam itself will slowly reach the desired readiness. Transfer the cooled product to jars, close with nylon covers and store in a dry place.
