Homemade Whole Strawberry Jam

The advantage of the recipe is that the fruits are whole, they do not crush when overcooked. It is a French method of making jam - so of course it should be good, and it really is.

I recommend that you do not put more than 2 kg of strawberries in a boil, so that you can work them well. I have already done a tour, I hope the pictures will convince you to try the recipe.
