Dr. Oetker Sirupfix is a powder mixture for homemade canning of thick fruit, flower, herb, or ginger syrups
1000 g of fruit + Sirupfix + 1000 g of sugar + 500 - 1000 ml of water = delicious and thick syrup
Preparation of fruit syrup:
- Wash and mash or cut the fruit into small pieces, place it in a pot and add 500 - 1000 ml of water (depending on the juiciness of the fruit). Boil for 5 - 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool. Add the Sirupfix mixed with 1000 g of sugar, stir well, and let sit overnight in the refrigerator.
- Strain the fruit through cheesecloth, cloth, or a fine sieve, bring to a boil, boil briefly for 3 - 5 minutes, and remove any foam. Pour the hot syrup into sterile bottles, seal with caps, and place the bottles on their sides for about 20 minutes.
Preparation of elderflower, herb, or ginger syrup:
10 large elderflowers or 6 handfuls of herbs or 300 g of ginger, 1000 ml of water
- To prepare elderflower or herb syrup, soak the flowers or herbs in hot (not boiling) boiled water. For ginger syrup, peel the ginger, slice it, and boil for 10 minutes.
- To the cooled mixture, add the Sirupfix mixed with 1000 g of sugar and let sit overnight in the refrigerator.
- Strain the mixture through cheesecloth, cloth, or a fine sieve, bring to a boil, and simmer for about 10 - 15 minutes.
