We cook the jam a second time also for 5 minutes, we insist for 6 hours. And for the third time, we simply bring the jam to a boil and fill sterile jars with a delicious dessert, roll it up

Chokeberry has a tart taste. To remove an unpleasant aftertaste, pick only ripe fruits and preferably after the first frost, when they lose most of their astringency, but remain sweet.

Chokeberry jam with orange

You can replenish the collection of winter preparations with chokeberry jam with orange. Berries go well with citrus fruits, which enrich and soften the taste of rowan. The jam turns out to be incredibly spicy and aromatic.

Ingredients:

• 350 g of chokeberry;
• 1 orange;
• 500 g of sugar.

Preparation:

Rinse the orange, scald with boiling water. We peel off the zest, peel the pulp from white films and cut into pieces

• Rinse rowan berries, pour into a bowl, fill with hot water and leave for an hour. After we drain the water, it will no longer be needed, and pour the berries themselves into the bowl.
• Put slices of orange pulp in a bowl with mountain ash and punch with an immersion blender.

Add the orange zest to the resulting puree, add sugar, stir well and leave on the table for 3-4 hours

After that, pour the contents of the bowl into a saucepan, put on the stove and cook over low heat for 40 minutes from the moment of boiling

• Then the jam should be infused for at least 6 hours. Then we cook the second time, but for 20 minutes.
• Fill clean dry jars with hot jam and tighten the lids tightly.

If you make jam only from some rowan berries, then you can add citric acid, it also neutralizes astringents.

Chokeberry jam with apples

There are different recipes for chokeberry jam. So, for the winter you can prepare a delicious and aromatic dessert with apples. Thanks to the tannins of the mountain ash, the apple pieces remain intact and do not boil.

Ingredients:

• 500 g of chokeberry;
• 300-400 g of apples;
• 500 g sugar;
• 1 glass of water.

Preparation:

• We lay out the prepared clean mountain ash without petioles on a flat surface and send it to the freezer for 6 hours.
• We boil a syrup from water and 200 g of sugar, in which we then pour the berries directly in frozen form. Cook from the moment of boiling for 40 minutes.

Cut the apples, peeled from the peel and seed box, into thin plates, transfer them to a saucepan with mountain ash

Next, pour the remaining sugar, mix, cook for 40 minutes under the lid

After the first cooking, we keep the jam for 6 hours. Then we boil it a second time for 20 minutes and lay it out in clean cans, tighten the lids

Rowan juice stains hands and dishes for a long time, and if it gets on clothes, it is very difficult to wash it off. Therefore, it is better to handle the berries with gloves, and wipe off unwanted stains immediately.

"LIVE" chokeberry jam

Some housewives believe that even after a five-minute cooking, mountain ash loses most of its nutrients, so they prefer to cook "live" jam. And for such a healthy dessert, you only need the rowan fruits themselves and sugar.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of chokeberry;
• 700 g sugar.

Preparation:

1. Separate the rowan berries from the petioles, rinse under running water and dry.
2. Grind the fruits with an immersion blender or pass through a meat grinder.
3. Pour sugar over the grated berries and punch again with a blender.
4. Leave the resulting puree for an hour so that the sugar is completely dissolved in it.
5. We spread the mass in sterile jars, sprinkle with a layer of sugar on top and tighten the lids, which must first be boiled.

Together with the berries, you can also pick up leaves, from which you can make fermented tea. Also, do not throw away the petioles, they can be dried and added to tea in winter.

Chokeberry jam is really very useful and indispensable for those who dream of losing weight, because its berries prevent the formation of fat, especially in the abdomen. At the same time, such a dessert turns out to be very fragrant, and you can experiment with taste by adding other ingredients and aromatic herbs.
