Strawberry syrup recipe with citric acid

Ingredients

1. Fresh strawberries - 1 kg

2. Granulated sugar - 700 g

3. Water - 1 glass

4. Citric acid - ½ tsp.

The method of preparation

1. Cut fresh strawberries into halves and cover with sugar. To increase the flow of juice, the berry mass can be mashed with a fork or pestle.

2. Leave the syrup blank in the refrigerator for about a day. After the specified time, the mass is passed through several layers of gauze cloth or through a very fine plastic sieve.

3. Add a glass of water to the sweet strawberry juice and put on fire. Cook the syrup until it thickens, about 40 minutes.

4. You can tell when it's ready by a drop dropped into a transparent mug of cold water. This process must be carefully monitored. If a drop falls to the bottom of the container without losing its shape, it is time to remove the syrup from the heat. If it dissolves in water, the syrup still needs to be cooked.

5. Add citric acid powder at the very end of cooking, exactly one minute before turning off the heat. Pour and seal the finished syrup into sterile bottles.
