Dogwood jam for the winter: with and without seeds. Recipes for making dogwood jam How to make seedless dogwood jam

Hello, dear readers. Continuing the theme of sweet preparations for the winter, today we will touch on dogwood preparations. And we will prepare seedless dogwood jam, unusual for us, but useful in all respects. Dogwood has become popular lately, and for good reason. This berry contains so many vitamins and nutrients that it would be inhumane to our body to leave such a berry without attention. Moreover, it improves metabolism.

We have long paid attention to the miracle berry, I even wrote an article about it. This year we also planned to make blanks from dogwood, but it was thought that this would be in the fall. But walking through the market, we saw dogwood trees. They came closer, looked, and asked the price. In general, we liked the dogwood both for its price and its appearance. Without thinking, we bought a bucket of dogwood.

At first I thought about taking less, but when I saw the berry itself, I already planned that this year I would make more dogwood preparations.

Dogwood jam recipe

We will prepare regular berry jam, without adding any extraneous ingredients. For this we need dogwood and sugar, and that’s it.

It is best to take ripe dogwood for jam, or even overripe. I will make several blanks at once. Together with jam I will make and. In both recipes you need to grind the berries on a sieve. But don’t worry, I will describe all the ingredients and steps in detail.

Let's start cooking by washing and sorting the dogwood. As I said, we bought a bucket of dogwood. I’ll select unripe berries for compote; it’s also a very healthy and tasty drink, but I’ll tell you about it in one of the following articles.

It’s just that unripe berries are more difficult to grind and they are not as fragrant, but we will make the compote another day, and they will have time to ripen.

The photo on the right shows that all our berries are ripe and there are even overripe ones. Now you need to put the berries on the fire to soften and evaporate the juice.

I just washed it and put it on the fire, we have a large volume, and the water that drained from the berries covered the bottom. If you have a small volume and will make jam, for example from one kilogram, then pour a little water into the container. There should be approximately one centimeter of water at the bottom. You can do more, but then it will take longer to evaporate the water.

Place on low heat and simmer the dogwood berries for about an hour. During this time, the berries will release juice and will be completely in their juice, becoming soft, ready for grinding.

Now take the dogwood and grind it into a sieve. I’ll say right away that it’s better to use a large sieve for grinding. Of course, we grinded on medium, but I’m already experienced and know how to do it faster. Use a whisk to grind.

From experience I will say this, I tried it with a spoon, and with my hand, and even with a mixer. I decided on the whisk.

When I had 1 kilogram of dogwood puree in the pan, I added the same amount of sugar. We use one to one proportions.

If you don’t have scales or you make in small proportions, then from one kilogram of dogwood you get about 800 grams of puree. I can’t say for sure, since dogwood varieties are different, and the size of the berries and seeds are also different. For example, this year we got about 250 grams of waste per kilogram of berries.

Put the puree on the fire and cook, stirring occasionally.

Be careful when boiling. Foam rises and if you take the container more than 2/3 full, you will smudge the stove. We collect foam.

We simmer our jam for about 20 minutes and pour it into sterile jars and roll it up.

If you added water, increase the evaporation time to 40 minutes, or even more. But I will say this, dogwood is rich in pectin, the jam turns out thick anyway. You can see an example of our 20-minute boiling in the first photo, the jam is like marmalade.

And here is our final photo. As you can see in the photo, from one kilogram of dogwood puree, you get three 0.5 liter jars. We still had enough dogwood jam to put in the salad bowl for the photo and to show its thick consistency.

The jam tasted more sweet than sour. But it has a tart taste. The jam itself is like grains. This dogwood jam is good to use for, or fingers, or just spread on bread.

Secrets of grinding dogwood

We always make dogwood in large portions, and grinding 6 kilograms of dogwood is quite a feat. Every time I grind dogwood, I remember that I need to buy a large sieve. But as soon as I finish, I immediately forget. And this is not the first year.

So I learned how to grind through a sieve with a medium mesh.

First of all, I grind only hot berries; then they don’t clog the cells as much.

I always use two-step grinding, or even three. Last year there were three, this year I completed it in two steps.

First of all, I take the berries with a slotted spoon, then the juice remains in the pan. We will still need it.

First, I mash the berries well and grind them to a thick mushy mass. Do not immediately try to grind until the bone is clean. It's very tedious and time-consuming.

Then I put this mush on a plate and take the next portion. And so on until I turn all the dogwood into mush.

At this stage, you can grind about half of it. Then I take all the pulp and put it in the remaining juice and put it on the fire. I boil for about 10 minutes, then grind again. It's much easier to grind now.

If you don’t have any juice, or you immediately poured out the berries along with the juice, you can add a glass of water to the pulp. Then you will evaporate the moisture a little longer.

You can repeat this again, but only with water. After stirring a second time, all the juice will be absorbed into the porridge, and there will be none left at all.

I ground 6 kilograms of dogwood in 1.5 hours. This is of course a long time, but others grind one kilogram in an hour. So I think this is a good result. And we love dogwood not only in jam, but also in sauce. One kilogram went to make dogwood jam for the winter, the rest of the dogwood went to sauce. We don’t eat meat at all without it in winter. Very tasty and healthy sauce.

Do you use dogwood in your diet? If yes, then share in the comments how you prepare it.

We need few ingredients to prepare such homemade preserves, but it is better to prepare even them in advance by placing them on the work surface. Dogwood is harvested for all kinds of preservation at the end of summer, when the berries ripen. During this period, they are most saturated with all kinds of vitamins and beneficial microelements, for which we started preparing delicious jam today.

Why is it better to pick young but ripe dogwood? This is because once it ripens, the berries still look smooth. The ideal option would be if all the berries are approximately the same size. All collected dogwood must be thoroughly rinsed in cold water several times and left to dry in a colander.

During this time, you can have time to prepare sugar syrup, which for today’s recipe is cooked in the most classic way. Pour clean cold water into a saucepan or suitable pan, and add the entire specified amount of granulated sugar there. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and place the saucepan on the stove.

Bring the liquid in the pan to a boil and cook the syrup for 3-5 minutes until all the crystals are completely dissolved.

You can boil the syrup a little longer, the main thing is that it thickens and reaches the condition we need. The sugar mass will bubble and foam will appear on the surface, but there is no need to remove it.

As soon as the syrup begins to boil and the sugar has already dissolved, add all the prepared dogwood to a saucepan or saucepan, mix and cook the berries for 5 minutes. Now the foam that forms on the surface must be removed. By the way, you can later brew tea or prepare other drinks from it..

As soon as the specified 5 minutes have elapsed, turn off the heat and leave the jam at room temperature to cool and infuse. There is no need to cover the pan with anything on top.

We repeat the above manipulations with the future jam twice more so that the syrup turns a bright color and the dogwood softens enough, but does not lose its shape.

The finished jam will look thick and very rich. This mass can now be distributed into glass containers in which it will be stored until use.

Small glass jars must be sterilized in advance by steaming or in the oven along with tin lids.

Dogwood jam

If you prepare the jars poorly, the jam may spoil over time..

When all the preparatory activities are completed, fill the glass jars with the prepared aromatic jam to the very top and roll them up tightly.

Now all that remains is to wait for the workpiece to cool down; it is best to turn the jars upside down and cover them with a blanket. It usually takes about 8 hours to cool down, but you can simply leave it in the kitchen overnight. Dogwood jam “Pyatiminutka” with seeds is ready for the winter.

Bon appetit!

Ready-made jam, prepared in accordance with the technology, can be stored for several years. The exception is those types that are boiled with seeds.

If the jam is intended for long-term storage, then it is best to pour it cold. Cover the jars with parchment and tie with twine. It’s better to store dessert containers closed in this way in a dry place. Jam storage temperature is from +10 to +12 ⁰С.

Dogwood jam is a delicious and healthy dessert intended for almost everyone. Its unusual taste often makes it one of the most favorite delicacies in the family.
