Cherry plum seedless jam for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Jam with stones is cooked more often from cherry plum, because they are quite difficult to remove from the fruit. But not everyone likes such jam with bones, and it can be used less often in baking. Therefore, if you work a little on the extraction of seeds, then you can make an excellent cherry plum jam without seeds. Jam can be made from cherry plums of any variety and color: yellow, red or purple, depending on taste and availability.

2. Step 2:

   

   For jam, you need to take a well-ripe cherry plum so that the finished product turns out fragrant and sweet. Unripe cherry plum is very sour and without proper flavor, and overripe is suitable only for making jam. The cherry plum is carefully washed, repeatedly changing the water, sorting, removing rotten and spoiled fruits. We throw the cherry plum into a colander, let the water drain completely.

3. Step 3:

   

   Carefully cut each fruit with a knife and remove the stone. We transfer the cherry plum to an enameled dish and cover it with sugar. We cover the dishes with a towel and leave the container with cherry plum at room temperature for 5 hours. During this time, the sugar will dissolve, and the cherry plum will let the juice. After the specified amount of time, we put the container with cherry plum on the fire, bring it to a boil.

5. Step 4:

   

   Remove the resulting foam from the surface of the jam with a slotted spoon and cook for 5 minutes from the moment of boiling, constantly stirring with a spoon or spatula so that the sugar does not burn to the bottom of the dishes. Then we remove the dishes with the jam preparation from the fire, leave them again for 5-6 hours at room temperature to rest. After a specified period of time, the jam is boiled again for 5 minutes. And so we repeat the procedure two more times.

   Meanwhile, we will prepare jars for jam. It is better to take them in a small volume, wash them with a soda solution. Sterilize in one of the most convenient ways: in a water bath, in a microwave oven or in an oven. Boil the lids and dry them. Fill the jars with jam up to the hangers, roll up the lids. Let the jam cool completely at room temperature under a blanket.
