We loved this quick, easy, and delicious strawberry preserves. I made a half recipe ( 3 green plastic baskets of strawberries) and it made about 2 cups. It took about 20 minutes of repeating step #3 to get it to the desired thickness. Our local strawberry stands are selling super sweet strawberries, and this still wasn't too sweet (this is a good thing). I served this heated and poured over french toast...yum!! Thank you for sharing this keeper recipe!! *Made for 2010 Spring PAC* -
What a great way to make preserves without having to buy expensive fruit pectin. Thanks for sharing!

I live in Florida. Home to the Jaguars, the sun, and that pesky thing called rain. I love to read and explore new things while cooking.
