Strawberry jam in syrup
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Strawberry jam is not as popular as strawberry jam, but it's just as tasty and healthy. To make strawberry jam in syrup, you'll need fresh strawberries, fresh finely chopped mint, and sugar. You may not need to add water—my berries released enough juice on their own, more than enough for the syrup. Serve chilled.
