Ingredients

• 1000 grams Fresh strawberries
• 800 grams Granulated sugar
• 30 milliliters Lemon juice
• 1 whole Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Start by thoroughly washing the strawberries under cold running water. Hull the strawberries and cut them into halves or quarters if they are large.

Step 2

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, taking care not to let the mixture boil too early.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent the fruit from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Continue to cook the mixture, occasionally skimming off any foam that forms on the surface with a spoon.

Step 6

After about 20 minutes, begin testing the thickness of the confiture. To do this, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate and let it cool for a minute. If the confiture wrinkles when pushed with your finger, it’s ready.

Step 7

Once the desired consistency is achieved, remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 8

Carefully ladle the hot confiture into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue, and seal with lids.

Step 9

Allow the jars to cool to room temperature, then store in the refrigerator. The confiture can be stored for up to 3 months if properly sealed.
