Pitted cherry jam is a favorite delicacy of adults and children. The dessert has a rich taste, color and aroma. We offer a recipe with a photo "Five minutes", as well as other options for tasty and sweet preparations for the winter.

Cherry jam "Pyatiminutka"

Pitted Pyatiminutka cherry jam is an easy way to prepare a delicious dessert for the winter. At the same time, the jam turns out to be very bright and fragrant.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of cherries;
• 1, 2 kg of sugar.

Preparation:

In any convenient way, we extract the seeds from the cherries, then send the berries to the pan

Next, add granulated sugar, mix. Leave the cherries for 3 hours to dissolve the sugar. During this time, mix the berries several times

• We put the saucepan on the stove and, with constant stirring, bring the jam to a boil.
• Then, without stopping stirring, cook for exactly 5 minutes.

Pour the finished dessert directly hot into sterile jars, tightly tighten the lids

For jam, it is best to use mid-season or late varieties of dark red cherries. They are higher in sugar, fiber and antioxidants.

The most delicious cherry jam

The simplest pitted cherry jam "Pyatiminutka" involves the use of only two ingredients: berries and sugar. But there is a more interesting recipe with a photo that I want to share.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of cherries;
• 1 kg of sugar;
• zest of 1 lemon;
• 1 tsp liquor.

Preparation:

Sprinkle the pitted cherries with the released juice with sugar. We leave for a few hours

• As soon as the bottom layer of granulated sugar becomes wet, put on the lowest heat and wait until the sugar begins to dissolve.
• After heating, we increase, bring to a boil, cook for 5 minutes, or 3 minutes is possible.

• Then turn off the fire, remove the foam and leave the cherry in the syrup for 3-4 hours (as long as possible).
• We repeat the process of five-minute cooking with interruptions several times.
• In the last cooking, add the zest of one lemon and liqueur to the cherry.

Pour the finished jam into sterile jars and, rolling up the lids, leave it upside down until it cools completely

The cooking time depends on how much juice the cherry has given and on the desired thickness of the jam: from 3 to 6 times.

• 1 kg of black currant;

• At this time, we will prepare the cherries: we wash the fruits well and remove the seeds.
• Bring the currants to a boil, pour the remaining sugar into the cherry and also on low heat, stirring occasionally, bring to a boil.

Cook the jam for 5 to 15 minutes - it all depends on the desired thickness. Then we lay out on sterile jars

When picking cherries, it is better to pluck together with the stalk, so the juice will be preserved and yeast and fungi will not be able to penetrate inside.

• After the contents of the pan, gently mix, put on fire and after boiling, boil for 10 minutes. Remove the foam during the cooking process.

• We leave the berries until they cool completely, you can overnight.
• Then we cook the jam again, but no more than 5 minutes. Do not forget to remove the foam.

We lay out the finished berry jam in sterile jars

You can easily find out how much sugar is required for cherry jam based on the weight of the berries themselves. So, a cherry with a stone weighs 5-6 g, and without a stone - 2 times less.

Cherries with chocolate and cognac

If you like "Cherry in cognac" sweets, then you will definitely fall in love with cherry jam with chocolate and the addition of aromatic alcohol. And preparing such a dessert for the winter is very simple.

Ingredients:

• 600 g of sand;
• 100 g of dark chocolate;
• 1 tbsp. cocoa;
• 50 ml of brandy.

Preparation:

1. We transfer the already pitted cherries to a basin or saucepan, add sugar and leave for an hour.
2. After we put on fire and boil the berries for 30 minutes, start counting from the minute of boiling.
3. Dilute with cognac in a cup of cocoa.
4. Put pieces of dark chocolate in the jam and immediately pour in the cognac with cocoa.
5. Cook for another 8-10 minutes and lay out the finished dessert in sterile jars.

If cherry jam is cooked in the traditional way, then the ratio of berries to sugar is 1: 1. If you want to shorten the cooking time, but at the same time get a thick syrup, then the amount of granulated sugar should be increased to 50%.

Cherry jam "Pyatiminutka" is a tasty and aromatic delicacy for the winter. But even today, disputes about how to cook it better - without seeds or with them, do not subside. It all depends on the choice of the hostess, but it is worth knowing that removing the seeds will lead to loss of juice, oxidation and destruction of vitamin C and a longer cooking process.

If you cook with seeds, you can save time on preparing the berries, while the fruits themselves in the finished dessert remain intact. The seeds give the jam a light almond flavor due to the content of hydrocyanic acid in them.
