📝 Preparation Steps
1
Wash and hull the strawberries, keeping them whole but removing the tops and green bits.

5
Skim foam, if needed. Ladle hot preserves into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
6
Wipe rims, apply lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath canner for ⏱️ 10 minutes (⏱️ 15 minutes above 6,000 feet).
7
Let jars rest ⏱️ 5 minutes in the canner before removing to cool. Check seals after ⏱️ 24 hours.
