Delicious chokeberry jam. Black rowan jam for the winter - recipes from simple to sophisticated. Chokeberry jam with apples

Along with other fruit and berry plants, chokeberry jam, popularly called chokeberry, is also popular.
Once imported from Canada, chokeberry was grown in Russia as an ornamental tree. But the properties of its berries attracted V. Michurin, who was able to prove that the fruits contain a large amount of useful elements that make chokeberry not only a healing, but also quite nutritious product.
Since then, housewives have added chokeberry jam to the menu of winter preparations. They did not seek out special delights in the invention of recipes - the methods of cooking almost any sweet product are always the same. It's just that each housewife makes her own individual additions, which makes any recipe unique, be it jam or.
Preparatory procedures.
Whatever berries are used to make jam, they must be pre-processed. Only ripe fruits are used for harvesting. Concerning chokeberry - it is harvested in late autumn, when severe frosts begin. The low temperature deprives the berries of their unpleasant bitterness.
Chokeberry is cut from the tree with brushes - so it will be more convenient to soak them. To finally rid the berries of bitterness, they are kept in cold water for another day. During this time, the fluid should be changed twice.
After the water procedure, each berry is separated from the tails and scallops, then sorted. Spoiled mashed fruits are removed immediately. The rest are put in a colander and blanch in constantly boiling water for 10 minutes. Now the fruits of the chokeberry are ready to be used in recipes for making delicious jam.

The easiest way to make chokeberry jam is according to the recipe of our grandmothers. It is considered the most reliable for long-term storage.

• Prepared berries - 1.2 kg.
• Granulated sugar - 1.2 kg.
• Water - 0.5 l.

Jam cooking algorithm

First you need to make a syrup from water and sugar. When it thickens enough, without turning off the heat, berries are poured into the container and boiled. This should be done in 3 steps:

1. The berries are boiled in syrup for 10 minutes, then set aside and cooled for 10-12 hours.
2. Next, the syrup is boiled without berries - they should be removed for a while.
3. After 15-20 minutes, the mountain ash is returned to the syrup and boiled until fully cooked.

The jam is packed in dry preheated jars. After sealing the container with lids, leave to cool.

A variation of this recipe

If the jam is stored not in cool cellars, but, for example, in the pantry of a city apartment, the finished product should also be subjected to pasteurization. To do this, not yet sealed cans, but only covered with lids, are placed in a pan with hot water (about 70 degrees) and pasteurized for 9 to 15 minutes (depending on the volume of the can).

After pasteurization, the containers with the jam are removed, the lids are rolled up on them, and the jars are placed for natural cooling.

Chokeberry berries in syrup

Here is another recipe for chokeberry jam that housewives have been using for a long time - berries in syrup. In this case, not mountain ash is added to the syrup, but the opposite is true. Why the berries in the jam remain almost intact.

Ingredients used in the recipe:

• Rowan berries - 1 kg.
• Sugar - 1.5 kg.
• Water - 0.6 l.

The sequence of cooking jam

The sorted fruits are poured with the syrup, prepared as usual, and kept for about 8 hours. And only then they start cooking the jam.

Put the basin on the stove on a small fire and immediately remove it after boiling the jam. After 15 minutes, the procedure is repeated. There should be at least 5 such visits. This will allow the jam to thicken well without burning.

Jam with additives

A very aromatic, unusually tasty jam is obtained if other ingredients are added to the chokeberry. The recipe now proposed is good in that such a product can also be used as an adjunct in the treatment of colds, hypertensive crises and vegetative-vascular distortion.

Ingredients:

• Rowan - 1 kg.
• Sugar - 1.3 kg.
• Water - 2 glasses
• Fruit and berry juice (any) - 1 glass
• Lemon juice - 0.5 cups
• Rum - 2 tablespoons

Jam making

The unusualness of this recipe in comparison with the previous ones lies not only in the addition of rum and juices of other berries to the jam. The preparation of the chokeberry is already different. The berries are pre-baked in the oven for about 5 hours. In this case, the container should be covered with a lid so that the fruits give juice.

1. The juice emerging from the chokeberry is drained and combined with water and sugar.
2. The syrup is cooked in the usual way.
3. Next, rowan berries are returned to the syrup, fruit juice is poured in and rum is added. Continue to cook.
4. At the final stage, lemon juice is poured in and after 5 minutes the jam is removed from the heat and packed in jars.

As you can see, nothing out of the ordinary, but the result will be stunning.

Foreword

Everyone is accustomed to tasty, however, already slightly bored, strawberries, currants. What do you think about chokeberry jam? The berries of this plant have unique properties, they perfectly fight against viral diseases, strengthen the immune system.

Many people do not like the taste of this fresh berry because of its astringency and sourness, but one can hardly resist the alluring taste and aroma in the form of jam or jam. It is believed that the benefits of canned berries are completely lost, we hasten to answer that this is not so. Chokeberry is subjected to the most gentle heat treatment, especially if you decide to cook it in a slow cooker.

Chokeberry

But there is another way to preserve the beneficial properties as much as possible - to cook raw chokeberry jam. Separate the berries (1 kg) from the twigs, rinse them well and blanch for one minute. Then dry the chokeberry and spin it through a meat grinder. Mix the finished mass with 0.7 kg of sugar and three grams of citric acid. On this, raw chokeberry jam can be placed in sterilized jars and stored in a cool place.

But with what problems blackberry jam will help you cope:

• eliminate high blood pressure;
• to establish the normal functioning and work of the endocrine system;
• give elasticity and strengthen the walls of blood vessels;
• cope with headaches;
• restore normal healthy sleep and relieve fatigue;
• strengthen weakened immunity;
• reduce the level of bad cholesterol;
• saturate the body with the required amount of vitamin C.

Do you want to please yourself but do not have the time and special desire to stand at the stove for a long time? Then this is your recipe. Despite the fact that the infusion of the jam takes about a day, the main cooking process will take only 15 minutes.

Ingredients for a five-minute recipe:

• chokeberry berries - 1 kg;
• sugar - 1 kg;
• water - 500 ml.

Chokeberry five-minute jam

We start with the preparation of the berries, carefully sort them out, remove the tails, scald with boiling water, and then rinse thoroughly under running water. For convenience, the berries can be transferred to a colander and let the remaining water drain completely. Then we transfer them to an aluminum or enamel basin and leave it for now, and in the meantime, we will prepare the syrup. Take a separate saucepan and mix the required amount of water and sugar in it. Boiling the mixture over low heat, wait for the boil, pour the berries with syrup and mix everything thoroughly.

Now we proceed to the main stage - cooking chokeberry. After the whole mass begins to boil, you must continue to cook the berries for exactly 5 minutes, then leave them to infuse for half a day. The next day, repeat the process in the same sequence - five minutes of cooking and infusion again for ten to twelve hours. When the moment comes for the third final process, prepare the sterilized jars. It remains to boil the present jam again for 5 minutes and roll it into jars.

You will say that the original name "five minutes" is debatable. However, most of the time should be spent on insistence, which you will not spend your own time and effort on. Such delicious chokeberry jam turns out to be truly rich and aromatic.

I would like to preserve the maximum amount of vitamins even in canned berries. Of course, achieving such a result with long heat treatment is quite problematic, but if you cook in a multicooker, you can reduce this problem to zero. And all thanks to the minimal heating of the berries when using the "Stew" mode. As a result, the jam is moderately thick, the astringency and astringent properties of the berries are lost, and their benefits, the original aroma and sweet taste are preserved.

Such preservation turns out to be moderately sugary, and to prepare it you will need:

• blackberry - 1 kg;
• sugar - 0.5 kg;
• water - 0.5 l.

Blackberry conservation

As always, we separate the berries from the branches, remove the tails and rinse them under running water. Then we shift the chokeberry into a deep basin and fill it with a liter of boiling water. In this state, we leave the berries to "rest" for 10 minutes. This is necessary so that the mountain ash becomes softer, which means that it absorbs sugar faster and lets the berry juice out. After the specified cooking time has expired, pour out half of the water, we will no longer need it, and pour the second 500 ml into a free container and leave it for cooking the jam.

We fill the prepared berries with the required amount of sugar and wait until they let the juice out. This will take at least an hour. Then we put the berries together with the juice into the multicooker bowl, add two glasses of water, which we left after soaking the mountain ash, and turn on the "Stew" mode for 40 minutes. With so many ingredients, the lid of the multicooker can be safely closed, the jam will not boil away. When the timer turns off, we take out the bowl from the multicooker, so the jam will cool down faster, lay it out in pre-sterilized jars and roll it up.

How else can you diversify blackberry jam? How about cherry leaf syrup? This recipe will be a real decoration for any canned sweets and will pleasantly surprise you. Write down the following list of required ingredients:

• chokeberry - 2 kg;
• sugar - 1.6 kg;
• cherry leaves - 1 glass;

We carry out the processes already familiar to us with the berries: we carefully sort them out, rinse them several times and let the excess liquid drain, leaving for a while in a colander or sieve. In the meantime, let's tackle the cherry leaves. We also thoroughly rinse them under water, shake them off, pour them into an enamel pan and fill them with a liter of clean water so that it completely covers the leaves. We put on medium heat, bring everything to a boil and boil for another twenty minutes. The broth is ready, it must be filtered, and the leaves are thrown away.

We send the strained broth back to the fire and add sugar to it. We are waiting for the moment when the sugar turns into syrup and becomes homogeneous. When this happens, you can pour out the berries and cook them over low heat until boiling, and then leave for another 5 minutes and turn off the stove. Leave the mass to infuse for several hours, or better overnight, not forgetting to cover the pan with thick gauze. After that, bring the jam to a boil again and boil it for 5 minutes, leave it to infuse again for several hours, and then repeat the same thing again (as in the video).

At the end, boil the chokeberry jam for the last fourth time and, without waiting for it to cool, roll it up in prepared jars.

Pour the berries sorted out and washed under water into a cooking container, fill them with water and let them boil for 15 minutes. After that, we transfer the chokeberry with a slotted spoon to a separate dish and turn off the stove for a while. In the meantime, take the apples, peel them and remove the core. As for the cutting method and thickness, it is advisable that you end up with slices of about 1 cm.Now we send the apples to a pot of water, where the berries were previously cooked, blanch them for 2-3 minutes and also transfer them to a separate container using a slotted spoon ...

Due to the high iron content in apples, they darken very quickly. To prevent this from happening, simply sprinkle them with lemon. Add sugar to the liquid remaining after cooking and boil everything over medium heat until a thick, homogeneous mass is obtained. Next, we send pre-blanched berries and apples into the ready-made syrup and act according to the familiar cooking scheme - cook after boiling for 5 minutes and leave the jam to infuse for 3-4 hours. So we repeat 4 times.

This cooking method helps the berries to become soft, but not boiled, while maintaining their original structure. Now there are little things left - roll up delicious jam in clean sterilized jars and wait for the pleasant moment of the long-awaited winter tea party.
