I recommend everyone to use this method of preserving the fruit, it is like a very fragrant jam (not like the classic jams where you feel more sugar, not the fruit - because of the boiling process). The sugar preserves the color and aroma of the fruits - a real delight, I use them as jam for pancakes, compotes, desserts, for children in cheese, etc.

In this way I preserve strawberries, raspberries, cherries, cherries, peaches, apricots, blueberries, etc.

●

1 kg

or other favorite fruits

●

Sugar

400 g

Step by step

Step 1

In this recipe I used raspberries, you could freeze your favorite fruits.

So, raspberries are chosen to be clean without leaves and dirt - be careful, raspberries are not usually washed, because the fruit is crushed.

Step 2

Add the sugar.

Step 3

Mix lightly, so as not to crush the fruit hard (although I really recommend crushing strawberries and peaches) and leave it for 1-2 hours to leave a little juice.

Step 4

If you do not have time to leave them then mix them continuously until it leaves a little syrup.

Step 5

Prepare the containers in which you want to freeze the fruit. You choose them depending on how big you want the fruit portion to be. I have tested several containers, the most optimal, simple and cheap are the disposable glasses.

Step 6

In each glass put a small disposable bag, to cover the entire inner surface of the glass and to remain on the edges.

Step 7

Fill the glasses with the composition of fruit and sugar.

Step 8

Tie the bags tightly and put the fruit glasses in the freezer overnight - to harden well.

Step 9

After they have hardened, remove them from the glasses. The fruits will have the shape of a glass, will take up less space in the freezer and are very compact.
