My attempts to make strawberry preserves are turning out a little frustrating. I have tried a couple methods for them and instead of coming out as jars of strawberries is syrup they are jars of syrup with some strawberries in them. My first attempt created a very watery syrup and the second created a very think overly sugary goo. Strawberries seem to go from nice and firm to soft and mushy in a blink of an eye. Trying to catch them before they become mush has been the tricky part. Luckily I can reprocess the the syrup and make some sort of jam out of it so it's not a total waste.
The adventures in the kitchen are intriguing and have got me wanting to experiment more and more trying new and different combinations of this and that. Experimenting with different techniques and making new discoveries.
Off to the kitchen with me then...
