Preparation
Step 1
Wash off your strawberries, figure out how many cups you have. Chop them and place in a large pot. Mash them down and let them boil.
Step 2
Take 6-12 cardamom pods, depending on how many strawberries you have and to taste. Remove the cardamom seeds and grind into a fine powder.
Step 3
Add the ground cardamom to your sugar. Try one half cup sugar for every 1 cup fruit, or a 1:1 ratio if you want it sweeter. Add the cardamom/sugar mix to the strawberries in the pot, stir well.
Step 4
Add pectin. Stir, let cook.
Step 5
Skim off the top layer of foam, pour into mason jars. Let cool, and put the lids on.

Chef Tips and Tricks
All you need is 3 main ingredients to make this Chocolate Strawberry Braid for dessert tonight!
Ingredients
- 7-9 medium-sized strawberries
- 1 puff pastry
- 1 chocolate bar
- 1 egg yolk
- Almond slivers
- Powdered sugar
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut the strawberries into halves.
- Dust some flour on a flat surface and spread your puff pastry out on top, smoothing it into a rectangle shape if necessary.
- Place the bar of chocolate in the center, then top with a layer of strawberry halves.
- Using a pizza cutter or a knife, slice the edges of the puff pastry into strips that can be wrapped over the chocolate and strawberries. Starting with the flap at the top, fold over each strip in a slightly diagonal direction so that they resemble a braid.
- Brush the braid with a beaten egg yolk so that it covers the entire visible surface.
- Sprinkle almond slivers on top.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes.
- Give the braid a few minutes to cool down, then cover with a dusting of powdered sugar.
- Serve and enjoy!
