How long jam will be made from 1 kg of strawberries?

Depending on the juiciness and variety of berries, as well as on the quality and amount of sugar, 1 kilogram of strawberries will make 1-1,2 liters of jam. Agree, mathematics is not very transparent, but if you calculate it correctly, everything will come together. Firstly, after buying the strawberries you need to peel off the tails – about 30 grams will already go away. Strawberries are never perfect, so throw away a couple of berries (about 30 grams). After peeling, strawberries are covered with sugar for a long time – which means that about 20 more grams will evaporate with moisture. During boiling, strawberries necessarily decrease in size, boil down by about 30%. And even taking into account that a kilogram of sugar is put on a kilogram of strawberries, the volume does not increase much from this – the strawberry jam only becomes a little thicker. If we deviate from the standard proportions of 1 kilogram of berries: 1 kilogram of sugar and reduce the sugar rate, then even less jam will be obtained in liters.

Weight is another matter. 1,2 liters of strawberry jam is about 1,5 kilograms of the finished product.
