Strawberry compote without sterilization for a 3-liter jar for the winter

Often, when rolling jam or compotes, the contents are sterilized directly in the container, before being rolled up with a lid. However, this is not necessary, and it is enough to pre-sterilize only the dishes themselves, since the berries will also be heat-treated.

Ingredients

Cooking process

step 1 out of 6
Before preparing the compote, the berries must be carefully sorted out. It is best to select the largest and strongest berries, but if you do not have a lot of strawberries, then it will be enough just to get rid of spoiled and unripe fruits.
step 2 out of 6
Fill a small bowl with water and load the strawberries into it. Stir the berries gently with your hands for a few minutes, rinsing off dust and sand residues, then collect all floating debris from the surface and drain the water. Transfer the berries to a colander, rinse under a gentle stream of running water and spread on a towel to dry.
step 3 out of 6
While the strawberries are drying, you can sterilize the jars. The easiest way is to hold them over steam for 10 minutes, and boil the lids for 2-3 minutes, but there are also a lot of alternative methods. Then, when the jars are cool and dry, fill them with berries by at least 1/3 of the total volume, and even better half, especially if the berries are large. Top with sugar strawberries, you can vary the amount depending on your own preferences and on the sweetness of the berries themselves.
step 4 out of 6
Boil water and pour it over the berries to the level of the neck. Cover with lids and leave to infuse for 15-20 minutes so that the berries give off juice and the sugar dissolves.
step 5 out of 6
After the specified time has passed, drain the water from the cans into a saucepan and put it on fire. Bring the liquid to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the remaining sugar. Boil the syrup for another 5 minutes after boiling, adding citric acid to it and mixing well.
step 6 out of 6
Pour the hot syrup over the jars again. It is better to do this in several approaches so that the glass does not crack. Tightly screw the lids or roll them up, make the cans upside down and wrap them in a thick towel. Leave the compote to cool completely.
Bon Appetit!
