Strawberry preserve: Strawberries are the most good looking fruit possible. They are considered to be most romantic fruit too! I love strawberries, but only issue with them is they come to market for very less time and for sure one need to preserve them. Lets see some fun facts around strawberries , after all who doesn’t like to flaunt good general knowledge : Strawberries are the only fruit that wear their seeds on the outside Strawberries aren’t true berries, like blueberries or even grapes. each seed on a strawberry is considered by botanists to be its own separate fruit.

But all in one nutshell is “THEY ARE AMAZING” Lets get back to the main dish. As we see strawberries for very few number of days , it’s good to preserve them for future use.

Notes

  1. I used cinnamon as I love the flavor. We can use vanilla or any spice of preference. Or it can be completely omitted.
  2. Lemon acts as preservative to this preserve.
  3. Increase or decrease sugar as per your taste. This measurement will make mildly sweet preserve.
