Seedless cherry jam for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To make delicious cherry jam, measure the required amount of it and prepare the sugar. Choose ripe, juicy berries, without visible damage. Remove all twigs and leaves. Then rinse the berries well from dirt and drain all the water. Remove the seeds from the cherry berries. This can be done manually, with a hairpin or with a special device for removing bones.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pitted cherries are ready to make jam. Take an enameled or glass saucepan and put the berries in it. Fill the cherries with sugar, about 2/3 of the norm and trot a little so that the sugar is evenly distributed among the berries. Cover with a lid and leave to stand for a few hours so that the cherries let the juice. It is not necessary to use aluminum dishes, so that oxidation from berry juice does not occur.

3. Step 3:

   

   When the berries let the juice, put the pan on fire, bring to a boil and boil for 2-3 minutes. Then remove from the heat, cover with a lid and leave to cool.

4. Step 4:

   

   So boil the jam 2 more times, letting it cool completely in the interval. Why boil it several times? This is necessary in order to preserve the greatest amount of vitamins in the jam, and make the syrup thicker. Before the second cooking, try the jam to taste. If there is not enough sugar, then you can add a little more. Navigate according to your taste.

6. Step 5:

   

   Prepare jars for jam. Rinse them well with detergent and rinse. Sterilize the jars in a way that is convenient for you. This can be done in the microwave, in the oven or over boiling water. Cover the lids sufficiently with boiling water.

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour the boiling jam into the prepared dishes. Caution! Hot! Close the lids. Turn the jars over and check for tightness. Inverted, wrap the jars in a warm blanket and cool them down. Then wrap it in a warm blanket? This is necessary in order for the jam to cool down as slowly as possible. At the same time, it will become a little thicker.

8. Step 7:

   

   Jars of jam, after cooling, store in a cool place. Have a nice winter treat!
