Classic strawberry liqueur recipe (no alcohol)
Ingredients
Ripe strawberries – 2 kg
Granulated sugar – 550 g
Method of preparation
Sort the berries and rinse in a large container with water. For convenience, you can use a colander.
We separate the strawberries from the green cuttings and transfer them to a sterile glass container.
Add granulated sugar per 1 kg of strawberries 275 g. Very important fill the entire contents of the used container, observing the necessary proportions.
Distribute the sugar evenly by shaking the container well 2-3 times. Then fix gauze on the neck and put the container in a warm place for 2-4 days.
When signs of fermentation appear (sour smell or foam), instead of gauze, you need to put a water seal or a clean glove with a small hole in your finger. And place the container in a dark place (temperature range from 18 to 26C). If the liqueur has not begun to ferment, then you need to add 1-2 tablespoons of unwashed raisins or fresh strawberries.
After 2–6 weeks, fermentation should end and the liqueur should be filtered through a homemade filter or special filters should be used. Filtration can be repeated several times until the desired transparency of the liquor is obtained. Now you can pour strawberry liqueur with a strength of 8 to 12% into bottles. When stored in a dark, cool place, the shelf life is no more than 3 years.
