No. 3328 — Strawberry Syrup
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3328 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Sort fully ripe strawberries, put in a preserve pan, cover with water and boil over high heat only briefly to extract the juice.
Drain into a tightly woven bag. For every 3 glasses juice take 1½ pounds sugar and bring to the boil three or four times, skimming.
Strain. A handful of green gooseberries may be cooked with the strawberries.
