Ingredients for 1 servings:
- 1 kg strawberries
- 1 lemon(s)
- 500 ml water
- 800 g sugar
Instructions
Working time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 40 minutes
Wash, clean, and quarter the strawberries. Place the quarters in a tall pot with water and lemon juice. It shouldn’t be too small, as the mixture will boil. Wait until it boils, then boil gently for 5 minutes. First, strain the mixture through a sieve (I use a sieve) and collect the resulting juice. Then filter this again through a cotton cloth. This is the juice that will serve as the basis for the syrup. 1 kg of strawberries yields approximately 800 ml of juice. Mix this juice 1:1 with sugar (in this case, 800 g), bring to a boil, and boil gently for 2 minutes. Then pour the hot syrup into clean jars or bottles with screw caps and tighten the caps. The syrup will keep for approximately 3 months. If you want it to keep longer, boil it again at 90°C for 15 minutes after it has cooled.
