English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3302 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Place fully ripe strawberries in a preserve pan with a little water. Bring briefly to the boil only long enough to flavour the water, then strain.
Cook green gooseberries separately as in recipe No. 3299 and strain. Mix 1½ glasses strawberry cooking water with ½ glass gooseberry juice and 3 glasses fine sugar.
Cook gently, stopping before reaching the first measurement mark.
