EDNA LEWIS'S GARDEN STRAWBERRY PRESERVES



Edna Lewis's Garden Strawberry Preserves image

In "The Taste of Country Cooking," Edna Lewis offers two recipes for strawberry preserves - one for wild and one for cultivated fruit, using different techniques to highlight their nuances. For garden berries, she gives an unusual method of heating the sugar separately, cutting down on the actual cooking time of the strawberries and preserving their delicate, fresh flavor.

Provided by Francis Lam

Categories     side dish

Yield 5 5-ounce jars

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 cups crushed strawberries
2 1/2 cups sugar
Paraffin

Steps:

  • Set 5 5-ounce sterilized jars and lids, or 3 1/2-pint jars in a pan of water over a low burner.
  • Wash berries in a bowl of cold water to make sure they are free of grit and dust. Remove berries by hand, and place them on a clean, dry towel to drain. Then remove the caps and crush berries slightly with a clean, odorless, wooden pestle or a strong coffee mug. Pour into a nonaluminum saucepan, and set over a low flame to heat.
  • Meanwhile, heat the sugar either in a double boiler or in a dish in the oven, being careful not to brown it, but making sure it becomes very hot (about 10 minutes at 350). Now pour the hot sugar over the berries, turning the burner up while stirring the sugar around. The cooking should be as brisk as possible without scorching; it should take about 9 minutes in all.
  • As soon as the preserves begin to boil up, a scum will rise on the surface; skim it off right away with a wooden or silver spoon. It is much better to skim while it's rapidly boiling, because that seems to cause the scum to remain in a mass, and it's easy to dip it out without getting too much of the syrup.
  • After 9 minutes of rapid cooking, pour the preserves into the hot jars, filling to about 1/8 inch from the top. Lift the jars out onto a dry surface to cool. When cold, carefully melt paraffin and pour into the filled jars. When paraffin is cool, put on the lids and seal.

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Fruit     Quick & Easy     Low Sodium     Strawberry     Spring     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 1-pint baskets fresh strawberries, hulled
2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Place hulled strawberries in heavy large saucepan and mash coarsely. Cook strawberries over medium heat until beginning to thicken, stirring frequently, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add 2 cups sugar and stir until dissolved. Increase heat to medium and boil gently until mixture thickens and mounds on spoon, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Cool. (Preserves can be prepared 1 week ahead. Refrigerate in airtight container.)

Tips:

  • To ensure the best quality preserves, choose fresh, ripe strawberries. Avoid berries that are bruised or moldy.
  • Before cooking the strawberries, make sure to hull them. This means removing the green cap from the top of the berry.
  • When measuring the sugar, pack it tightly into the measuring cup to ensure an accurate measurement.
  • Bring the strawberry mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for the specified amount of time. Stir the mixture frequently to prevent sticking.
  • To test if the preserves are done, place a small amount on a cold plate. If the mixture wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is ready.
  • Let the preserves cool completely before transferring them to jars. This will help to prevent spoilage.

Conclusion:

Strawberry preserves are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many ways. They can be spread on toast, used as a filling for pastries, or added to yogurt or oatmeal. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own strawberry preserves at home. Just follow the tips and steps provided in this article, and you'll be rewarded with a delicious and homemade treat that you can enjoy all year long.
