The preparation of this jam is very simple and requires few ingredients: wild strawberries, sugar, and alcohol or liqueur of choice. The result is a jam with an intense and delicate flavor, which can be spread on slices of bread or used to fill cakes and tarts.

Mix well and let them macerate for 15 hours
Cook for about twenty minutes, stirring often and quickly
Jar the jam while still hot and let it cool
