What is Cheong?
Cheong refers to fruit preserved with sugar, so jams and syrups like this strawberry Cheong recipe fall into this category.
Again, you want equal parts strawberries and brown, granulated sugar.
250g Strawberries
250g Granulated Sugar
Step 1. Wash and dry your strawberries, ensure your strawberries are completely dry before the next step.
Step 2. Add a layer of strawberries to a clean Kilner jar followed by a layer of sugar and build up ending with a final layer of sugar.
Step 3: Be patient and leave your jar in a cool, dry dark place for 3 months. This allows the fruits to break down and amalgamate with the sugar creating a delicious syrup.
