Blueberries in their own juice for the winter without sugar

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   We must sort out fresh blackberries. There can also be a lot of garbage, rotten berries.

2. Step 2:

   

   We will pour everything into the basin and wash the fruits in water. This should be done several times.

3. Step 3:

   

   Then drain these waters and pour cold water over the blueberries. Let her stand for 30 minutes. During this time, a midge will also pop up, which may well settle there, and other things that are not useful for our harvesting.

4. Step 4:

   

   While the trial is on, sterilize the jar and lid. I chose a 150-gram jar – it is convenient to store blueberries in such a container.

5. Step 5:

   

   When you are sure that everything is in order in terms of unwanted elements, drain the water. I did it using a sieve – even after washing, there were a lot of useless stuff left there.

7. Step 6:

   

   Draining the water, we must now remove as much moisture from the berries as possible. I scattered them in a thin layer, so that they do not touch each other, on a moisture-permeable basis. You can put the berry on a clean towel.

8. Step 7:

   

   Well, now let's pour water into the pan that you picked up for this purpose. I.e. it should be high and roomy in breadth. After filling the berries in the jar, we will send it to the pan. Attention – the water should reach the hangers of the jar, but not higher.

9. Step 8:

   

   Let the water boil. Reduce the heat and let the berries sterilize. Look at this photo – there are fewer berries, they have become softer, and we will report a new portion.

10. Step 9:

    

    If you see that the volume does not change, i.e. the berry has stopped decreasing in size and the juice has covered it, sterilize it under the lid for five minutes and turn off the gas.

11. Step 10:

    

    Close the jar with a key or tighten the lid tightly. Wrapped in something warm, let the jar cool. But keep in mind, such a billet should then stand in a cold place. And she deserves almost until spring. There are several such small jars that can be closed. With 300 g of fresh blueberries, I got a little more than 160 g.
