As strawberry season approaches, everyone is looking for ways to keep these berries fresh for as long as possible.

There are many methods for preserving strawberries, but most of them either lose their natural flavor or require boiling or freezing.

However, there is one unique way that keeps strawberries fresh without any extra effort.

Ingredients:

• Fresh strawberries
• Sugar

Process:

1. First, rinse the strawberries with cold water and let them sit for 5 minutes. Then rinse them thoroughly under running water.
2. Remove stems and sepals from the strawberries. Large berries can be cut in half. Don’t forget to set aside 200 grams of sugar for the final step.
3. Mix the strawberries with sugar, being careful not to damage the berries. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 3 hours, gently stirring occasionally.
4. Fill small glass jars with strawberries, adding 3 teaspoons of sugar to each jar.
5. Seal the jars tightly with lids. Strawberries prepared this way will retain their flavor and aroma for up to a year.

This simple method of preparation allows you to enjoy the taste of fresh strawberries even out of season, without cooking or freezing.
