Using just fresh strawberries, white sugar, and raisins, you'll learn a long forgotten recipe (until now!) that'll show you a new way to preserve strawberries. This efficient way to preserve strawberries should make it a lot easier going forward to stockpile as many strawberries as you'd like.

It turns out that raisins act as a “secret” ingredient to preserving strawberries! Because they have antioxidants and other special properties, they act as a protectant against food growing bacteria. Raisins also work well to inhibit mold growth and increase the shelf life of food.

Even during the 18th Century they knew adding raisins to their recipes would help them preserve food and they used them to their advantage. Hopefully, with this newfound knowledge, you'll do the same as you continue to use this old recipe that now has been resurrected!
