“Royal” gooseberry jam with cherry leaves. Gooseberry jam "royal" or emerald jam

Well, in my youth, it’s not so much anymore. Maybe I just didn't come across it. Study, army, what kind of jam there is.

Many years passed and one day, while visiting, drinking tea with the hosts, I did not recognize the jam, or rather the jam that the hostess served. Of course, I asked what berry the jam was made from. Well, then I felt ashamed. I didn’t recognize the gooseberry I loved so much as a child.

Since then I have become interested in gooseberries again. We started making preserves, jams, compotes from it, in various versions. Well, as they say, old love has returned. I want to show you several recipes for making various jams and gooseberry jam.

Delicious recipes for the winter. Royal gooseberry jam and other delicacies

It is believed that one of the main gooseberry jams is royal or emerald jam. It is prepared in different ways. Some people put nuts inside the berries, others simply take the seeds out of the gooseberries, but we’ll do the classic one.

Gooseberry jam with oranges is also very common. We will also look at it. We also have original jam with additives. And of course jam. Let's get started.

Gooseberry jam menu:

  1. Royal gooseberry jam or emerald jam

We will need:

  • Gooseberries - 500 g.
  • Sugar - 600 g.
  • Cherry leaves - 30 pcs.
  • Water - 2-3 glasses

Preparation:

1. Gooseberries for this recipe should be green, unripe, elastic and dense. Gooseberries must be washed and peeled.

2. Prepare an infusion of cherry leaves. We leave 6-7 leaves, they will be useful to us, and put the rest in a saucepan and fill with water. Place the pan on the fire and bring to a boil. The water will become a light emerald color. Boil the leaves for 2-3 minutes.

3. Pour the gooseberries into another pan and pour in the decoction of the leaves, strained through a sieve.

4. The broth should cover the berries completely. Cover with a lid and put in a relatively cool place for 12 hours (not in the refrigerator).

5. After 12 hours, again through a sieve, drain the broth from the berries. Pour one glass of broth into another pan. We don't need the rest of the broth.

6. Pour sugar into a saucepan with a glass of broth. Let's cook the syrup. Place on the fire, stir and bring to a boil.

7. The syrup is boiling. Add gooseberries to it. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes.

8. After 5 minutes, after closing the lid, remove it and check how it boils. And since you can’t stir the berries, just gently rock the pan from side to side. After some time, you can even lift the pan from the heat and shake it gently.

Be extra careful. Boiling sugar is worse than a hot stove.

9. 2-3 minutes before the end of cooking, add the cherry leaves that we left and did not cook. They should boil along with the berries. Dip the leaves into the water with a spoon. They must give us their color.

10. The jam was removed from the stove. We remove the leaves from it.

Once again, I want to remind you that you cannot stir the jam, just rock the pan, shaking it lightly.

11. Pour hot jam into sterilized jars.

12. Roll up with sterilized lids.

The jam is ready. We put it in storage.

Enjoy your winter tea!

  1. Gooseberry jam for the winter with delicious additives

Ingredients:

  • Gooseberries - 1 kg.
  • Sugar - 1.2 kg.

Preparation:

To prevent the berries from bursting, we will first do the following:

1. Pour 150 g of sugar into one and a half liters of boiling water and immediately add citric acid. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

2. Prick each gooseberry with a needle. Our sugar has dissolved, the water has boiled again, pour chopped gooseberries into our lemon-sugar mixture. Turn off the heat and keep the berries in this hot syrup for 2 minutes.

3. Two minutes passed, our berries began to look like olives. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the berries to a container with cold water. If you have ice, you can add it. Blast cooling prevents the berries from bursting.

Do not pour out the syrup from which we removed the berries. You can cook any compote based on it. Yes, and we will need a glass for the base of our jam.

4. Pour the syrup into another container. Pour a glass of syrup separately. Pour a separately poured glass (200 ml) of syrup into the vacated pan and pour 1.2 kg into it. Sahara.

5. Mix the sugar with a glass of syrup very carefully with a slotted spoon or spatula and turn on the heat. Turn on low heat so that the sugar dissolves. As the sugar dissolves, we can turn up the heat a little.

6. The syrup has boiled, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and add a glass of raisins. We took half a glass of dark and half a glass of light raisins. But this is not particularly important. Take what you have. Stir.

7. As soon as the raisin syrup starts to boil again, and this will happen very quickly, almost immediately after you stop stirring, we will add spices. Add half a teaspoon of cinnamon and half a teaspoon of ground ginger. Mix the spices well into the syrup. They must be completely dissolved.

Let's start cooking gooseberries

8. After stirring, our syrup with spices will quickly begin to boil again, add the gooseberries there, having removed them from the cold water a couple of minutes before. And immediately turn off the stove. Lift the pan of jam and gently shake it so that the berries are distributed more evenly.

9. Set the jam aside from the stove. Do not close the lid, otherwise it may steam. You can put some sticks or skewers on the pan, and parchment paper or newspaper on them to prevent any midges and dust from flying in. Leave for 5 hours.

10. After five hours, put the pan with jam in the refrigerator overnight.

11. In the morning, bring the jam to a boil again and immediately turn off the heat again and let the berries soak in the juice for another 5 hours. Until it cools completely.

If you have an electric stove, don't just turn off the stove, but remove the pan from the burner.

12. Now we need to boil the jam for the third time, but right before that, add a teaspoon of vanilla sugar to the jam.

13. For the third time, bring the jam to a boil, but continue cooking the third time for another 8-10 minutes, after boiling, and do not immediately turn off the stove.

14. Cool the jam completely and pour it cold into sterilized jars. Close with sterilized lids.

Delicious gooseberry jam is ready.

Bon appetit!

The title of royal gooseberry jam was given according to its merits.

This berry is full of magnesium, iron, vitamin C and potassium; it is useful for vascular diseases and for preventing the functioning of the entire circulatory system. But the most important thing is that the delicacy is extremely tasty. There are several interpretations of royal jam.

Royal Emerald gooseberry jam


Sometimes this jam is also called emerald jam, since its preparation requires unripe berries. But at the same time, the gooseberries must be first-class - whole and dense berries. We take products in the following quantities:

  • Berries – 1 jar (1 l);
  • Granulated sugar – 1 liter jar;
  • Water – 0.4 l.

The first step is to sort and sort the berries. We wash the best gooseberries well and carefully cut off the stems and stems from each berry. It is convenient to do this using nail scissors. Next, we rinse it again and pierce each berry with a toothpick in several places. Yes, there is a lot of hassle with this jam, but that’s why it’s royal.

Now you need to prepare sweet syrup for royal emerald gooseberry jam. To do this, take an enamel pan and bring water in it to a boil. Then dissolve sugar in it. Pour more boiling syrup over the gooseberries and leave for 5 hours. After the time has passed, pour the syrup from the berries back into the pan and boil again. Now pour in the berries for the second time and leave to infuse.

After another 5 hours, we boil the syrup for the third time and send it with the berries to boil on the stove after boiling for about 15 minutes. Then we put the still boiling jam into jars. They need to be washed and sterilized in advance. We roll up the jars with the delicacy and set them aside until they cool completely, turning them upside down.

Royal gooseberry jam with cherry leaves


Cherry leaves give the delicacy a special aroma and taste. To make jam with them you need to take:

  • Gooseberries – 1 kg;
  • 2-3 sprigs of cherry leaves;
  • 2 tbsp. water;
  • 1.5 kg of sugar.

This amount of ingredients will be needed to prepare approximately 3 half-liter jars. The berries also need to be sorted and washed well so that only perfect berries remain. Gooseberries can also be de-seeded by making partial cuts and removing the core using a pin or a special wire with an aluminum loop.

After this, wash the gooseberries again and pour them into the pan. We also wash the cherry leaves for royal gooseberry jam and add them to the berries. The leaves not only add a special aroma, but also preserve the emerald green hue of the jam. Leave the ingredients filled with water to steep for 5-6 hours.

Then we drain the water into a separate bowl, and place the gooseberries in a colander. Prepare syrup from infused water - you will need 2 tbsp. for 1 kg of berries. To do this, add sugar to the pan with the broth and place the container on the fire. Bring the syrup to a boil at medium temperature, stirring the sugar crystals as you go. When it boils, you need to boil for about 5 minutes over low heat.

Place the berries in the boiling syrup and leave for about 3-4 hours. We repeat this procedure several times until the jam is ready. This will take approximately 3-4 boils of 5 minutes each. It takes about 4 hours to cool down after each boil. That's it, the delicacy is ready for corking or drinking tea.

Royal gooseberry jam with walnuts

Even more healthy, and with a special twist, you can make royal gooseberry jam with the addition of walnuts. For the recipe you will need:

  • Gooseberries – 1 kg;
  • Nuts - to taste;
  • Sugar – 1.5 kg.

The berries for this recipe are large, of the same variety and color, preferably green. We wash the gooseberries and remove the stems and skin. For the last procedure, you need to cut the berry on the side with a knife and squeeze out its contents, leaving the skins intact. Grind the peeled gooseberries through a sieve, also getting rid of the seeds. Place the mixture on the stove in a water bath, adding sugar.

Heat the puree until all the sugar has dissolved. Then you need to “pack” pieces of walnuts into the remaining berry skins. Stuffed gooseberries are dipped in prepared syrup. Boil the “stuffed” berries for 5 minutes in several approaches. After each cooking, the mass will need to be cooled. The result is an amazing royal emerald jam.

Tsar's gooseberry jam with vodka


The recipe for gooseberry jam with cherry leaves can be slightly modified by adding vodka to the ingredients. To prepare we take:

  • Berries – 1 kg;
  • Cherry leaves – 100 g;
  • 1 tsp. citric acid;
  • Granulated sugar – 1 kg;
  • Vodka – 50 ml;
  • Vanilla – ½ tsp;
  • 5 tbsp. water.

We wash the berries and cut off their tails. To ensure that the consistency of the jam is uniform and pleasant to the taste, you need to remove the seeds from the berries. Fill the treated gooseberries with cold water and leave for 6 hours. Now we drain the water. We also wash the cherry leaves and then place them in a saucepan.

We also pour 5 tbsp there. water and place on the stove, turning on medium heat. Add citric acid to the container to add sourness to the dish. When the water boils, boil for 5 minutes and remove from heat. Place the leaves in a colander and add sugar to the broth. Place the broth on the stove again and boil until all the sugar crystals have dissolved.

Now it’s time for vodka, which we pour into the boiling broth along with vanilla, mixing well. Pour the prepared syrup over the berries and leave for about 15 minutes, then pour it back into the saucepan and boil for another 10 minutes when the mixture boils. After boiling the berries, put the finished jam into jars and seal. The royal gooseberry jam with vodka is ready! We store the delicacy in the cellar, and in winter we enjoy an amazing and delicious dessert.

Gooseberry jam in a slow cooker


Today, home helpers can cook almost anything. Even gooseberry jam can be easily prepared in a slow cooker. To do this you need to take:

  • Berries – 0.7 kg;
  • Sugar – 0.8 kg;
  • Water – 600 ml.

Any multicooker that has a “jam” or “multi-cook” function is suitable for preparing delicacies. Next, you need to weigh the main ingredients and measure out the water so that the amount exactly matches what is stated in the recipe. The gooseberries are filled with cold water for half an hour to “soak” the berries from dark spots, dirt and plaque.

We clean the soaked gooseberries from plaque and cut off the tails from them, after which each berry is cut into two halves. Now you need to prepare the syrup. To do this, add boiled or purified water to the sugar in the multicooker bowl and set it to the “multi-cook” mode. The syrup preparation time is 5 minutes, and the temperature is 160°C.

During this time, the sugar crystals will completely dissolve and the water will boil. Pour gooseberries into the prepared sweet syrup and set for another 25 minutes at the same temperature in multicooker mode. There is no need to close the multicooker.

In the process, remove the resulting foam using a wooden spatula. During cooking, the berries will soften, and only the necessary moisture will remain in the syrup. When the “multi-cook” program turns off, you can put the jam in jars and roll up the lids. The workpieces are cooled upside down, after which they are sent to a cool place for storage.

Gooseberries: five-minute jam

As you know, five-minute gooseberry jam is the fastest to prepare, but you need to remember to maintain the correct ratio of sugar and berries so that the delicacy stands for the required amount of time without swelling. To do this we take:

  • Gooseberries – 1 kg;
  • Sugar – 1 kg (minimum 0.5 kg);
  • 150-200 ml of berry juice (any).

To prepare such quick jam, it is better to take unripe gooseberries. This is explained by the fact that the skin is still quite dense, and the seeds are soft, light and not yet sour.

Mix berry juice or syrup with sugar. After this, we get down to preparing the berries. The gooseberries need to be thoroughly washed and the stems and stalks cut off. Pour the finished berries into the berry syrup and place on the stove, covering with a lid. After bringing the mixture to a boil, reduce the mixture so that the jam does not boil, but warms up well for about 5 minutes.

After heating for five minutes, put the jam into jars and seal. Naturally, the jars must first be sterilized and dried.

Amber gooseberry jam


By adding a little more sugar to gooseberry jam, you can get a precious-colored delicacy. To prepare amber gooseberry jam you need to take:

  • Berries – 1 kg;
  • 1.5 kg sugar;
  • 300 mg water.

The gooseberries are washed well and cleared of tails and stalks. Then you need to cut each berry in half and squeeze out all the pulp. In a saucepan, pour the berry mass without skins with water and boil on the stove for about 10 minutes. After this, filter the mixture and grind it to get rid of the seeds.

Mix the berry broth with sugar and stir. Now put the sweet broth back on the fire to boil for 15 minutes. Next, pour this mixture over our gooseberries and leave for 8 hours. After the time has passed, pour the liquid into the pan and boil again for about 15 minutes, after which we return it to the berries for another 8 hours. The last time the jam is cooked for 15 minutes, after which it is divided into prepared jars and twisted.

Gooseberry and kiwi jam


A real vitamin bomb, and even with an amazing taste, can be prepared from the same gooseberries with the addition of sweet aromatic kiwi. For this recipe for gooseberry and kiwi jam you will need:

  • Ripe gooseberries – 300 g;
  • Sugar – 1 tbsp;
  • Kiwi – 1 pc.

We wash the berries under running water and then remove the unwanted tails. Pour the finished berries into a bowl and add sugar. While the gooseberries steep and release their juice, peel the kiwi. Please note that for a richer taste of the jam, use ripe kiwi fruit. Cut the fruit pulp into small cubes and add it to the gooseberries, covered with sugar.

Pour water into it and send the mixture to the fire. After the contents of the bowl boil, reduce the heat to low. Cook the delicacy over low heat for 40-50 minutes. We put the finished jam into the jars after it has cooled completely. The result will exceed all expectations - the jam will come out bright green with specks of black due to the kiwi seeds. And the taste will be both sweet and sour. Bon appetit!

Gooseberry jam with whole berries


Sometimes you want to make jam so that all the gooseberries remain safe and sound. To prevent them from overcooking or even cracking, you need to adhere to the following recipe. To prepare gooseberry jam with whole berries you need to take:

  • Gooseberries – 1 kg;
  • 1.5 kg granulated sugar;
  • Water – 0.5 l.

You can immediately prepare the jars for seaming. Next, we move on to preparing the berries - we sort out the gooseberries and rinse them, throwing them in a colander. After all the water has drained, you need to prick each berry separately with a needle. This will help them remain intact during heat treatment. In addition, the berries will retain not only their shape, but also their taste.

Next, place the gooseberries in a saucepan, add sugar there and set aside. After 8 hours, you need to pour water into the pan and stir the mass. Place the saucepan on the stove and cook the syrup over low heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Then remove from the stove and leave the gooseberries in sugar syrup for 20 minutes.

Now we put the mixture on the fire a second time and let it boil. As soon as bubbles appear on the surface, immediately remove and place the jam in jars. Having screwed on the tin lids, we send the cooled pieces to the cellar for the winter.

Gooseberry jam through a meat grinder

To make the jam thicker, and to speed up the cooking process, Quittin can also be used in the recipe for the twisted delicacy. And for flavor, add raspberries, blackberries or strawberries. So, for gooseberry jam, we take the following products through a meat grinder:

  • Gooseberries - 3 tbsp.;
  • Sugar – 3.5-4 tbsp;
  • Vanilla - to taste;
  • Raspberries – 1 tbsp..

We sort the berries, remove debris and wash them. When the water drains from the berries, put them in a meat grinder or blender, turning them into a puree. Then mix the mixture in a bowl with sugar. In this case, the dishes should be enameled and the spatula made of wood. Cover the bowl with a towel and leave the sugar puree for 4 hours. During this time, the mass needs to be mixed a couple of times.

After time, add raspberries and vanilla to the ingredients and mix lightly, shaking the bowl from side to side. Now you can put the container with the berry mass on the stove, bringing it to a boil. Then the jam is cooked for only 5 minutes. You can periodically remove the foam. Having completed the cooking stage, the jam is put into jars and sent for storage.

Gooseberry jam with gelatin


For greater thickness, you can add a gelling agent to the treat. For the recipe for gooseberry jam with gelatin you will need:

  • Berries – 1 kg;
  • 100 g sugar;
  • Water – 250 ml;
  • Gelatin – 100 g;
  • Vanilla – 1 stick.

As with any other recipe, the first step is to prepare the berries. It is recommended to take unripe gooseberries. We sort the berries, removing debris and leaves and then washing them. Place water in a saucepan with sugar on the stove. When the syrup boils, add the berries to the container and, reducing the heat, cook for 10 minutes. After this, you need to let the delicacy cool.

Add vanilla and gelatin to the already cooled berries. Place the pan on the stove over high heat again and, when the mixture boils, cook for 4 minutes. At the same time, the jam must be stirred all the time. Then we put the still hot delicacy into sterilized jars and roll it up. That's it, the dish is ready!

Gooseberry jam in a bread maker

It is much easier to cook using modern miracle technology. So, you can even make gooseberry jam in a bread maker. This will free up a lot of time, which will be useful for other important things - we have so many of them! For cooking we take:

  • Gooseberries – 450 g;
  • Sugar – 450 g;
  • 25 g lemon.

Cooking couldn't be easier. Gooseberries need to be sorted, leaves, tails and small debris removed, and then rinsed in running water. When the berries, drained in a colander, are dry, pour them into the bowl of the bread machine. Now we prepare the lemon - you need to wash it and chop it, cutting it into thin strips. We don’t peel the peel, it also goes into the jam, but we remove the seeds.

Cover the gooseberries with lemon straws and sugar. Now we place the bowl in the bread maker and set the “jam” mode. That's it, your help in the kitchen is no longer needed. The electric assistant will handle the rest itself. When the jam is ready, your “cook” will notify you with a sound signal. All that remains is to distribute the treat among the prepared jars and roll it up.

Jam with gooseberries and cinnamon

Agrus jam tastes a little like grape jam. You can add a special flavor to the treat by adding cinnamon. To prepare an unusual aromatic gooseberry jam with cinnamon we take:

  • Gooseberries – 1 kg;
  • Cinnamon – 5 g;
  • Water – 1/2 cup;
  • Sugar – 1.5 kg.

We sort the gooseberries, wash them and remove the stems and stems. Place the washed berries in a colander to drain. Then each berry needs to be cut in half separately. Place the chopped gooseberries in a saucepan and cover with granulated sugar. Pour the prepared water into it and leave it there for a day to obtain juice from the berries.

The next day, add cinnamon to the pan, mix everything well and put it on the stove. Boil the mixture over low heat for 5 minutes after boiling, constantly stirring the berry jam with a wooden spatula. Then, turning off the heat, leave the jam to cool to room temperature.

Now you need to boil the already cooled jam again. This time the pan is on the stove for about 15 minutes. During this time, we also stir the mass. After the second cooking, the delicacy cools completely. Now you can put it into jars. The jam is stored either in the refrigerator or in the cellar.

Black gooseberry jam: five minutes

Despite the fact that gooseberries are sour and tart, they make excellent jam. It's also useful. And you don’t have to cook it in several batches and spend more than one day in the kitchen. You can make five-minute jam from black gooseberries. To do this we take:

  • Sugar – 1 kg;
  • Black gooseberries – 1 kg;
  • Water – 1.2 tbsp. (can be replaced with apple juice).

We wash the berries and place them in a colander. We also clean the gooseberries from stalks and tails. Now pour the sugar in the pan with water (juice). Each berry needs to be pierced with a needle (preferably a toothpick). To save time, you can simply crush the gooseberries gently. Then pour the berries into a saucepan with sugar syrup and put on fire.

The mass needs to be heated to 90°C, no more. At the same time, make sure that the berries with sugar do not stick to the bottom and burn. To do this, you need to stir the contents of the pan all the time. As soon as the berries have warmed up enough, turn off the stove and let the gooseberries stand for about 5 minutes. During this time, periodically stir the contents.

Now you can put the jam into jars (sterilized) and seal with iron lids. Bon appetit!

Gooseberry jam with jellyfix


Thick jam can be made not only with gelatin. To do this, it is also ideal to use zhelfix - a special natural-based gelling agent. It comes in two types: in a ratio of 1:1 and 2:1 (twice as much fruit as sugar). Natural pectin will preserve the natural taste and external characteristics of the berries, while saving granulated sugar and preserving all vitamins.

Ingredients for gooseberry jam with jellyfix:

  • Gooseberries – 1 kg;
  • Zhelfix 1:1 – 1 sachet (20 g);
  • Sugar – 1 kg.

We sort the berries, wash them and pour them into the pan. You can leave the gooseberries whole, or you can grind them in a blender or in a meat grinder. Set the pan with berry puree aside. Next, mix the gelfix with a couple of tablespoons of sugar. Pour them into a saucepan and put everything on the stove, stirring. When the mixture boils, add the remaining sugar. After stirring, bring to a boil again and cook for a couple of minutes. After this, remove the foam from above and pour the thick jam into sterilized, dry, clean jars. Cooled jam resembles real marmalade or jelly. You can even spread it on bread. Enjoy your tea!

Pearl gooseberry jam

This jam may be familiar under other names, for example, it is also called royal jam. The highlight, or rather the pearl, in the recipe is filling the gooseberries with walnuts. To prepare the treat you need to take:

  • Gooseberries (green, unripe) – 1/2 kg;
  • Nuts (walnuts) – 250-300 g;
  • Water – 1/2 l;
  • Sugar – 1 kg;
  • Star anise – 1-2 stars.

The washed gooseberries need to be sorted and the stalks removed from the berries. Then carefully, without damaging the berry itself, remove the core with seeds from the gooseberry. Now the hardest part - you need to stuff each berry with a piece of nut kernel. When the jewelry work is finished, set the berries aside and prepare the syrup.

Mix sugar and water in a saucepan and put them on the stove. Cook over low heat until the sugar crystals are completely dissolved. The syrup should be transparent. Pour more hot syrup over our stuffed gooseberries, leaving them to steep overnight. The next day, add star anise to the pan with the ingredients and put it on the fire again.

Bring the mixture to a boil over low heat and immediately remove. Let the jam sit for a while, then you can take out the star anise and pour the pearl delicacy into jars. There should be about 3 jars of 0.5 liters each.

Gooseberry jam with shadberry

Gooseberries can be slightly shaded with the sugary serviceberry berry, which will create a special unique taste. To make this unusual jam you will need:

  • Gooseberries – 1 kg;
  • Irga – 1 kg;
  • Sugar – 400 g.

We wash the berries under running water and sort them, removing twigs, stalks and leaves. To prepare, take a pan with thick walls and a bottom. We put a layer of shadberry in it, on top of which we pour half of the sugar. The next layer is gooseberries, which are also sprinkled with the remaining half of the sugar on top.

So the berries sit for about an hour, releasing juice. Then put the pan on the fire, pour water into it, and wait for it to boil. After this, reduce the heat and cook for 40 minutes, stirring the jam occasionally. At this stage, you can adjust the sweetness of the treat. You can add lemon juice 15 minutes before the end of cooking if you want a more sour jam.

When the finished jam has cooled to room temperature, it can be poured into sterilized jars and sealed. Enjoy your tea!

How to make gooseberry jam in a slow cooker

You can once again envy those who have a multicooker - you can make delicious gooseberry jam in it. Don’t stand at a hot stove, don’t waste time, and at the same time replenish your supplies for the winter. Some advantages.

What you need to prepare for jam

  • Gooseberries - 700 gr.
  • Sugar – 500 gr.

Step-by-step actions

  1. First of all, let's prepare the jars and lids. Pour some water into the multicooker bowl. Place thoroughly washed jars (preferably half liter jars) upside down and lower the lids directly into the water.
  2. Turn on the “Steam” mode for half an hour.
  3. While the container is sterilized, let's take care of the gooseberries. The berries need to be sorted, the stems trimmed with scissors, and washed thoroughly.
  4. We take out the cans, drain the water, and wipe the thicket of the multicooker.
  5. Place berries in a bowl and add sugar.
  6. Leave it alone for 30 minutes - the berries should react to the presence of sugar and begin to release juice.
  7. Now turn on the “Extinguishing” mode for 30 minutes. This regime involves the gradual dissolution of sugar. The jam boils in about 10 minutes. An important nuance - do not close the lid of the multicooker, otherwise the sweet liquid will run over the edge.
  8. We remove the foam; it will actively begin to appear when the jam boils.
  9. Stir occasionally with a wooden spatula.
  10. When you turn off the device, take out the bowl, place it on the table, and let the jam cool in the same bowl.
  11. Place the cooled jam in the slow cooker for the same “Stewing”, only set the time to 15 minutes.
  12. Let it cool, set it to the “Stewing” program again, time 15 minutes. Thus, we cook the jam in three steps - once for 30 minutes, twice for 15 minutes.
  13. Place the hot jam in a glass container and cover with an iron lid.

The jam turns out great! Not enough, though, just a half liter jar and a little bit for testing. But who is stopping us from preparing another portion, another?

What would you like to recommend?

  1. Do not increase the amount of ingredients. If it boils, it can escape and cause a lot of trouble.
  2. You can cook it in one step, setting the “Stewing” program for an hour. But in three steps, in my opinion, the jam turns out better, and the berries don’t get so soft.

Have fun!
