What can be prepared from fresh, fragrant strawberries quickly and easily? We have collected for you best recipes: jelly or blanks for the winter, cake or dumplings!
- strawberries - 1 kg
- sugar - 800-1000 gr
To make jam, you need to purchase ripe and dense berries of about the same size, then they should be thoroughly washed under running water, dried and the green stalks removed.
After that, you need to pour the berries into a voluminous deep saucepan and fill them with the indicated amount of sugar, in which the strawberries will be infused for 4-6 hours: this way it will release the juice necessary for further cooking.
After the specified time, we put the pan with berries, sugar and sweet syrup on the stove, bring the liquid to a boil and cook the strawberries for 5 minutes over low heat.
Along the way, we remove the foam from the surface of the liquid, which will form there. Then we remove the pan from the stove, cool its contents slightly and leave to infuse for 10 hours, covering the pan with a thick towel.
As soon as 10 hours of waiting have passed, we again put the pan with strawberries on the stove, bring to a boil, boil for 5 minutes, removing the foam. Then once again let the jam cool completely. We repeat the above manipulations one more time.
We sterilize jars and lids for clogging in advance, pour the cooled jam into jars and close them carefully. We send jars of jam to be stored until winter in a dark and cool place. Strawberry jam is ready.
Recipe 2: how to make strawberry compote for the winter
- Strawberries - 600 grams
- Sugar - 250 grams
- Water - 2.5 liters
Wash the strawberries well and separate the stems. It is advisable to change the water at least once. You will see that clean strawberries have a little dirt residue. It shouldn't be.
Preparing jars for strawberries. I just doused them with boiling water and boiled the lids for about 5 minutes. But if in doubt, then hold them for a couple or in the oven.
Pour prepared strawberries into jars. There is no exact number here. Everyone adds as much as he wants. There are indeed some limitations. For example, if you put less than 350 grams, then the compote may not have a bright strawberry flavor. Well, you shouldn’t take more than a kilogram either, it will be too much.
The optimal rate is 500 - 600 grams. So the taste of strawberries will be heard and many berries will not be spent. Especially if they are purchased. The photo shows that 600 grams is about a quarter of a 3 liter jar.
In the meantime, our water boiled. We take water at the rate of 2.5 liters per 3 liter jar. This is also not an accurate result. We have where 2.4 fit, and where 2.5 liters. But it is better to take the first time with a margin. Fill with boiling water, without adding about 1.5 centimeters from the edge of the jar.
We leave the strawberries to warm up for about 10 - 15 minutes. Then we express.
We measure the sugar according to the number of expressed cans. In our case, all four fit into one container and I added one kilogram of sugar.
Weighed of course with scales, but you can measure with glasses. In one 250 gram glass with a slide, 250 grams of sugar. At least in the glasses that we have.
Bring to a boil and simmer for two minutes until everything boils well. We pour our sweet strawberry syrup into jars. For the photo, I put the pan on the table and spilled it there. I advise you to do everything near the stove, without turning off the fire. So to speak, pour boiling syrup.
And immediately roll up the lids. If suddenly you didn’t have enough syrup in the last jar, then add boiling water. Maybe a glass of water is not enough. Strawberries just on exposure hot water decreases in size and occupies a smaller volume.
So I recommend adding 80-100 grams of water to each jar. And even before the spill of the syrup on the banks. After the compote was rolled up, then we need to make a bath for our strawberry compote. To do this, put on a warm blanket on the covers and wrap. Leave for a day.
After a day, you can turn over and let cool completely. And then already demolished in the basement or pantry.
Recipe 3: how to cook strawberries for the winter without cooking
Very easy and fast you can prepare this healthy treat. In the refrigerator, it can be stored for 4-5 months, delighting you with a wonderful fresh taste and a large amount of vitamins.
For this recipe appearance strawberries will not be of particular importance, because such strawberries with sugar for the winter without cooking will be pre-grinded. Therefore, you can not reject slightly dented specimens, slightly underripe or overripe.
Thoroughly wash 1 kg of berry raw materials, remove all green stalks and wait until it dries completely. Pour 1.2 kg of granulated sugar and let it brew for 3-4 hours (well, it’s better to leave it all night) so that the maximum amount of juice stands out.
Use a pusher or a more modern way - a blender, as a result you should get an almost homogeneous mass.
Wash the jars well, then steam them well in the oven at 120 degrees for 10 minutes - the water droplets on the walls should disappear. Boil the lids for a few minutes.
Pack the berry mass in dry sterile jars, close with lids (they should already be completely dry and cooled). Store in refrigerator. Alternatively, you can freeze strawberries for the winter without cooking in plastic cups.

- ½ lemon
Strawberries, without defrosting, put in a saucepan with a thick bottom, cover with sugar and leave for several hours (I left it overnight).

Squeeze juice from half a lemon.
Add lemon juice to the strawberries and, using an immersion blender, grind the mass a little. I like when there are small pieces of strawberries left.
Put the pan on the fire, bring to a boil, let it boil for 5-7 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. Then remove from heat and let cool completely.
Repeat this procedure 3-4 times until the consistency of the jam meets your requirements. I boiled it 4 times, the jam turned out perfect: not very thick, but not liquid either.

You will need the following products:
- ripe strawberries - 200 g;
- sour cream - a few tablespoons;
- sugar to taste.
Cooking:
Rinse the strawberries in running cold water, sort for the presence of spoiled berries and then separate the tails, and then put them in a deep cup.
After that, add sugar and mash the contents until a homogeneous mass is formed. If you get whole pieces, then it's okay, it's even tastier. Then mix the mass and wait until the sugar is completely dissolved.
It should be noted that sugar always needs time to completely dissolve. After all, it is unpleasant when something crunches on the teeth. Of course, you can add powdered sugar if you wish, then this process will speed up a little.
Sour cream adds a special flavor to the dish and is usually always put at the end.
Dessert should be mixed and served.
If you set a festive table, for example, for kids, then the dessert should be decorated. To do this, put a teaspoon of sour cream in the middle of the mass, but you do not need to mix it, but put a clean whole berry on it.
Such a feed will delight the child and cause an appetite. After all, many of us know that a person, first of all, “loves” with his eyes. For adults, you can attach a few leaves of fragrant mint to strawberries, but, of course, this is already an amateur. After all, not everyone likes its smell.
Strawberries with sour cream, sugar and gelatin
This recipe is very popular in the season, because it is in the summer heat that you want something unusually tasty and fragrant. Such a dessert is prepared very simply, and even a novice hostess can easily cope with it.
First you need to prepare the necessary products:
- half glass cold water;
- 1.5 tablespoons of gelatin;
- half a glass of sugar (you can use powdered sugar);
- a glass of sour cream.
Optionally, you can add vanilla sugar (or vanillin), which will give the dessert a pleasant aroma, although many housewives say that it is better not to interrupt the strawberry smell, so everyone decides according to their own preference.
Cooking
Pour gelatin with cold water (you can do this directly in a glass) and leave to swell. Today, such a product is sold in different quality, that is, when buying, pay attention to the instructions, it describes in detail how long it takes to soak the gelatin. Because one product takes an hour and the other 15 minutes. Next, you need to mix sour cream, for example, with vanilla sugar and wait until it is completely dissolved.
During this time, you can prepare the strawberries. To do this, it is worth choosing the necessary forms (in which jelly will be poured). Some housewives line the container with a special cling film, so that later it is easier to remove the jelly and it does not break its shape. Next, put the washed and peeled berries in the cells (can be cut in half).
Warm the swollen gelatin in a water bath or low heat until liquid and mix with sour cream. It is impossible to boil gelatin, because it will lose its jelly properties and as a result the dessert will not work, that is, it will not harden even in the refrigerator. Mix the mass thoroughly and pour it into the molds in which the berry is placed. Many experienced housewives they prepare such desserts with the addition of other fruits, for example, with banana rings, a whole fruit boom is obtained.

Next, take three tablespoons of gelatin in a glass of cold water and leave to swell. During this time, prepare a container for jelly, which should be deep, because several fruit layers will fit there.
After the gelatin mass is ready, it should be heated (not boiled) to a homogeneous liquid consistency (there should be no “marmalade” grains of gelatin, they should all dissolve) and separately pour gelatin - banana separately, strawberries separately and kiwi separately. You can add a sour cream layer, as in the photo.
Mix quickly and carefully pour into the form in which the dessert will be served. Lay out the strawberry layer first, then the banana layer and finally the kiwi. Put in the refrigerator until completely solidified. When serving, garnish with whole strawberries. Bon Appetit!
