Strawberry Walnut Preserves
Yield: 2 half pints

3 pints fresh ripe strawberries, hulled and washed, or 1 quart frozen berries
3 cups granulated sugar
1/3-cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup kirsch
1-1/4 cup chopped walnut

Combine all ingredients except walnuts in a heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat until sugar dissolves - about 5 minutes. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in walnuts. Pack immediately into hot sterilized jars and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Or, mixture can be transferred into glass containers and refrigerated for use.
