The energy value of the dish
Those who follow diets do not need to be afraid to eat cherry jam . Its calorie content , in comparison with other similar sweets, is much lower - only 230 Kcal. For example, it is worth noting that raspberries, being the most useful product when boiled with sugar, are also the most energetically saturated. 100 grams of treats for colds contain 275 kcal. If your home-made preparations have been stored for more than a year, then the gentle syrup with berries turns into a caramelized candy mass, which means that the calorie content of dishes increases accordingly. Remember this and try to treat guests and family by serving only freshly made desserts for tea: jam, confiture and cherry jam “Five Minute”.
