homemade strawberry preserve - how to make strawberry preserve

homemade strawberry preserve - easy preserve recipe using fresh strawberries.I already shared the making of strawberry jam recipe in the blog.Am fond of making recipes with strawberries anytime when i getting them fresh or in the form of preserve.Recently in a shop in my native,i saw strawberry preserve but it priced too high for its quantity.So i want to make my own preserve and after i came back to home,i planned the recipe.

You can use this preserve as spreads for bread,making muffins or cupcakes,for making cake loaf or as a topping for a dessert like cheesecake and for donuts.

Last week saw some fresh strawberries in the counter and took two boxes each 200 gm.I shared the above picture in instagram few days ago and thought posting it the same day.But having my drafts , i postponed the recipe posting to this year.

Got this bamboo basket from Chennai and thought of using it in my pictures and this looks so beautiful once i styled it ,before taking snaps.I got 2 cups of preserve and i used 1 cup for making the steamed cake.sterilize the jars that you are going to store before filling it with preserve.

Jam is the concentrated sugary spread made with fruits and preserve is the spread made with fruits and sugar with some fruit chunks in it.I love that vibrant color in this preserve and i have one more preserve jar to go.chop the fruits into little cubes and make the preserve and leave little as it is while mashing.
