Today, many housewives make blackberry jam for the winter. This delicacy is very popular in almost all families. It can be put on the table for tea or used as a filling for cakes, pies, decorate homemade cakes with jam. In addition, blackberries are simply a storehouse of vitamins. These berries are a direct relative of raspberries, so they have excellent antipyretic
effect. Preparing such a dessert is quite simple. It is only necessary to follow the recommendations of the following recipe.
How to cook blackberry jam ? First you need to decide on the list of products. You will need a kilogram of fresh berries, the same amount of sugar, a little citric acid (limited to 5 g), about 100 grams of blackberry leaves, half a liter of water. As you can see, the composition is not at all exotic. It is similar to any jam or jam. We proceed directly to the cooking process.
Sort the berries carefully and carefully so that they do not have a single sepal. Discard sick and rotten blackberries. Because of it, the final product can greatly lose in taste. Five-minute blackberry jam is prepared a little faster. But in this case, we will be guided by a more thorough recipe, which will make a delicacy that can be stored for a long time.
Blackberry leaves are used. They need to be washed and boiled in water for
about 20 minutes. Next, a syrup is prepared on the basis of the resulting liquid. Take 1 cup of broth and all the sugar. The mixture is prepared until all the grains dissolve and the mass acquires a slight yellowish tint. Blackberry jam for the winter will be made on this interesting basis. It will give the final product a special aroma and taste.
When you make the syrup, lay the berries in it. The capacity must be set aside for a while, so that juice begins to stand out from the blackberry. After this, add citric acid. Put the practically prepared jam on the fire and stir for 10 minutes. While the mass is still boiling, lay it in banks. For the winter, blackberry jam is rolled exclusively into sterilized dishes. Then the delicacy will be able to stand for more than one season in anticipation of lovers to treat themselves to something delicious.
Ready-made blackberry jam is usually stored in the refrigerator, basement or cellar. Make sure that the covers do not swell. If this happens, the bank should immediately be thrown away and not opened. This can happen if diseased berries or poorly sterilized containers get in.
Harvested blackberry jam for the winter is an excellent dessert. It is not only very tasty, but also incredibly healthy, especially in the cold season. Such a treat is enjoyed with pleasure not only by adults, but also by children. In addition, this jam is perfectly combined with all kinds of desserts both as a filling and decoration.
