Wild strawberry jam is an excellent choice to enrich your breakfasts and snacks. Wild strawberries are small, very fragrant and sweet red fruits, typically harvested in the spring. The preparation of this jam is very simple and requires few ingredients: wild strawberries, sugar and alcohol or liqueur of your choice. The result is a jam with an intense and delicate flavor, perfect for spreading on slices of bread or using to fill pastries and tarts.
Clean and wash the wild strawberries very quickly, then let them drain well
Put them in a large bowl with the sugar
Mix well and let macerate for 15 hours
Cook for about twenty minutes, stirring often and quickly
Fill jars with the jam while still hot and let cool
You can then sterilize it for twenty minutes, but preservation will be equally safe if you cover each jar with a layer of sugar soaked in pure alcohol or a liqueur of your choice
In that case, mix the jam well before consuming
The sugar and the covering liqueur will make it even more fragrant
You can also use garden strawberries to prepare this jam; simply slightly reduce the amount of sugar
