Preparation: Step 1
-
Prepare the necessary ingredients for a strawberry jelly recipe for the winter.
For jelly, only fresh, ripe strawberries without signs of damage is suitable. Berries should be dense, bright red, without dark spots or mold traces. It is better to choose the average fruits in size, they are more fragrant and faster give juice.
It is better to take gelatin food, fast -discharge. It does not require long -term swelling and works well at home. The package should indicate that the product is suitable for cold desserts and jam. As an alternative, you can take agar-agar, but with it you need to observe other proportions and temperature regime, since it begins to harden at 40 ° C.
How to choose strawberries

Step 2
Dip strawberries into a deep bowl of cold water. Leave for 5-10 minutes — so dust and possible insects will come up. Mix with your hand several times so that the dirt settles.
-
Step 3
Put the berries into a colander. Rinse under a weak stream of water. The main thing is not to remove the tails before washing so that water does not get inside.
-
Step 4
Remove the cups, sort out the strawberries, removing the spoiled and overdoor. In jelly from strawberries with gelatin, we send only the highest quality berries — the taste and color of the workpiece depends on them.

Step 5
Transfer purified berries into a deep bowl or pan for cooking, fill in sugar.
The amount of sugar can be slightly varied, but you should not greatly reduce its amount — sugar not only makes jelly, but also preserves.
-
Step 6
Gently mix strawberries with sugar, trying not to damage the berries. Leave for 6-7 hours at room temperature — the juice will be released during this time. This is the basis, without which real strawberry jelly will not work.

Step 7
Prepare the container while the berries are insisted. I use two jars of volume each 330 g.
Wash banks and lids thoroughly with soda or dishes. Run with running cold water. Then sterilize. I like to sterilize banks in a steam bath. Pour water into the pan, bring to a boil. Dip the lids into boiling water. On top, install a special grill or sieve, on which put the jars down. Boil for 10-15 minutes so that the pair processes the entire inner surface.
The lids can be boiled in a separate bowl for 5 minutes. After sterilization, leave the jar on a clean towel, a neck down.

Step 8
After the indicated time, the berries let the juice. The amount of juice depends on the juiciness of strawberries. At this stage, the berries are already ready for cooking.
-
Step 9
Transfer the strawberry mass to the pan. Put a pan on medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring carefully.
It is better to use enameled or stainless dishes with a thick bottom. It heats up evenly and does not allow the berries to burn.
-
Step 10
Dvivatin pour cold boiled water. Mix. Leave for 10-15 minutes to swell gelatin.
You can not use boiling water, since gelatin can lose its zheling properties.
-
Step 11
Warm the swollen gelatin in the microwave in small pulses of 10-15 seconds. After each warming, mix well. The gelatin mass should not boil.
-
Step 12
Berries boil on the smallest heat for 8-10 minutes. Stir constantly so that the strawberries warm up evenly, and the sugar completely dissolves.
-
Step 13
Remove the pan from the heat, let the mass cool slightly (5-7 minutes), then add the dissolved gelatin.
-
Step 14
Mix well so that the gelatin is evenly distributed throughout the syrup.
-
Step 15
Pour the hot jelly of strawberries with gelatin in sterilized jars, filling almost to the edges.
-
Step 16
Close tightly tightly with lids. Turn the banks upside down. This will help to check the tightness and additionally sterilize the lid. Leave until completely cooled, without wrapping.
After complete cooling, remove them in a cool, dark place: a pantry, basement or lower shelf of the refrigerator. The ideal storage temperature is from +4 to +12 ° C. In such conditions, the jelly is calmly stored until spring, preserving the taste and texture.

Step 17
You can enjoy the result! Jelly made of strawberries for the winter is ready — fragrant, bright, with a real taste of summer.
