The recipe for jam from white cherry
Ingredients:
- cherry white - 2 kg;
- boiled water - 750 ml;
- granulated sugar - 2 kg;
- lemon - 1 piece;
- Vanillin - if desired.
Preparation
So, to prepare the jam from the white cherry, carefully put the berries in a colander and rinse well in running water, removing the twigs and bones. In a saucepan pour the necessary amount of pure spring water, pour out all the sugar and set the syrup to cook on medium heat. Periodically stir the mixture and remove the foam carefully. As soon as the sugar crystals completely dissolve, lay out the prepared white cherry, gently mix, turn off the flame, cover with a lid and leave to infuse for about a day.
The next day, we wash the lemon in pure water, wipe it dry and cut into small cubes together with the skin. Add the citrus in the jam and boil for about 6 minutes, after which we leave again to insist. After a day, boil the delicacy for another 15 minutes, throw vanillin to taste and mix. If you prepare the jam for the winter, then immediately pour it on the banks, roll up the covers, turn upside down and wrap it in a warm blanket, leaving it to cool down completely. If you are not going to wait until winter, then put it in a bowl and serve as a dessert with a fragrant bun and hot tea .
White cherry jam with walnuts
Ingredients:
- cherry white - 1 kg;
- sugar - 1 kg;
- filtered water - 0,5 items;
- walnuts - 1 handful;
- cardamom - 2 boxes.
Preparation
We remove walnuts from the shell, of course, pour the nucleoli with steep boiling water and leave for 20 minutes. Then carefully drain the water and, using a small knife, we hook up and completely remove the skin.
Now let's prepare the cherry. Berry we sort out and spoiled put aside. Remove the stems, rinsed in cold water and carefully remove from each berry bone. You can use for this purpose a special device for pits, but since the white cherry is very delicate, then we work as a regular hairpin. To do this, we plunge it with a round end into the base of the stem, rotate in a circle, and then pick it up from the bottom and carefully take it out. Next, take the cracked halves of the walnut and place them in the formed hole of the sweet cherry. In the same way we do with all berries.
After this, take a pan with a thick bottom, pour sugar into it, pour in cold filtered water and juice, which is separated from the sweet cherry. We put the dishes on a weak fire and cook sweet
We cook the delicacy from the boiling point for another 5 minutes, and this time we sterilize the jars and lids. Ready-made thick jam from white cherries without pits is poured over cans, rolled up and cleaned into a cool place. The longer it is, the thicker, more saturated and fragrant it will turn out.
