Strawberry preserve in jaggery syrup

Strawberry preserve in jaggery syrup

Bought strawberry with so much enthusiasm but was confused as to what to do with them. Couple of ideas went through my mind but thought will do this experiment.
Once I finished making this dear husband entered the house and was curious to know what was cooking as the aroma was divine! I gave him a spoonful of it to taste, he just loved it and when I said its of jaggery he praised more. Oh yea my experiment passed and now have clicked a picture , not a great one, unable to avoid that glare falling in the preserve and have a three lines recipe too for you all :) Yea as usual short and simply ! ;)





Ingredients
Strawberry - 500 gms
Jaggery syrup ( thick) - 1 cup
a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

Method 
Wash the strawberries well in salt water and rinse well.
Cut each berry into four and put it a thick bottom pan.
Add the jaggery syrup and keep the pan on the stove. The berries will release water and then gradually the syrup will start thickening. 
Remove from stove once you see the syrup coating the wooden spoon well and the freshly grated nutmeg and mix well
Once the preserve is slightly cool transfer into a sterilized jar and close it airtight.
Store in the refrigerator.

Enjoy :)
thanks!
