I remember grandma making jelly and preserves, hers were the very best, she never used pectin and the flavor was wonderful. I haven't tried this yet myself, but I plan to soon. I hope to make some with Splenda. I will post my notes when done.

2 1/2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 quart berries
2 1/2 cups sugar, divided

Directions

1
Cap and rinse berries, place in a large colander.
2
Pour boiling water over berries and let drain 1 minute.
3
Combine berries and 1 cup sugar in a dutch oven. Bring to a boil; boil 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar; boil an additional 7 minutes, stirring frequently.
4
Pour strawberry mixture into a shallow 13x9-inch pan; skim off foam with a metal spoon.
5
Let stand, uncovered, in a cool place 12 hours; shake pan occasionally so that berries will absorb syrup and remain plump and whole.
6
Skim off foam with a metal spoon, pour preserves into sterilized jelly glasses, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
7
Cover with a 1/8 inch layer of paraffin. cover with lids.

Wow! Who knew something so simple could be so delicious??!! I only made about 1/4 of the recipe because I needed a small amount to make Strawberries and Cream Muffins by love4culinary recipe Strawberries and Cream Muffins but I think I will make a larger batch when strawberries are in season over here. I did not keep the berrries whole because I knew I would prefer them in smaller pieces for the muffins, so I chopped them before boiling. Thanks for saving me a trip to the store to buy Strawberry Perserves,
