Juicy blueberries. Recipes for the winter
First try making jam. It is so tasty that you can immediately make it in large quantities - this delicacy will definitely be in demand in your family. First prepare the jars. They should be intact, without chips and cracks, the covers should be suitable for them in size. They need to be well examined, rinsed first with soda, and then under running water, and then sterilized. To do this, you can use three methods - steam, oven and boiling. The latter looks like this: cans and lids, completely immersed in water, boil for no more than ten minutes.
Using steam generated above a pot of boiling water, you can sterilize containers by placing them on a divider. The most convenient way is to use the oven. Put the cans and lids in a cold oven, turn it on and stand for about fifteen minutes at a temperature of one hundred and fifty degrees Celsius. Glass containers will become hot - be careful when removing them. If you have already prepared blueberries, the recipe is as follows:
- Sort a kilogram of berries, remove litter and spoiled berries.
- Rinse blueberries under running cold water, dry.
- Put an enameled basin on a small fire, pour five hundred grams of water into it, add all the blueberries and five glasses of sugar.
- Cook without stopping stirring with a wooden spoon. The mixture should boil well. Stirring, you will notice how smooth the blueberries have become.
- The recipe involves the use of citric acid or lemon juice - three grams of one of these substances must be added to the jam.
- After this, you need to cook another two minutes, arrange in banks, close with lids. Store jam in a dark place.
In a similar way, you can make jelly. Grated blueberries (the recipe involves the use of only fresh berries) should boil and cook a little. It is necessary to separate the juice and add sugar and gelling substance to it. Readiness testing is carried out as follows: a drop of jelly should not dissolve in a glass of water, but sink to the bottom.
