Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh strawbrries, washed, hulled and quartered
- 4 tablespoons water
- 6 ounces ( 3/4 cup) undiluted defrosted orange-juice concentrate
- 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
About 3 cups
Preparation
- Cook berries and water in a covered nonreactive pot 3 minutes. Uncover and mash fruit a little with a fork.
- Sprinkle gelatin on the orange-juice concentrate and let the gelatin soften. Stir into the hot fruit mixture and cook, stirring, over low heat until gelatin dissolves completely.
- Cool and spoon into jars. Refrigerate or freeze. Refrigerated perserves will last a couple of weeks; frozen, they last months.
- To add a bit of zest, if you have no objections to a bit of sugar, stir in 2 teaspoons of minced candied ginger after the mixture is cooked.
