Blueberries mashed with sugar for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   First WE STERILIZE the jars. Rinse the cans with baking soda, rinse well under running water. Wet put in a cold oven with the neck down, also spread out the lids. Turn on at 150 degrees, after reaching the set temperature, sterilize the cans 0.7 l - 8 minutes, 1L - 15 minutes, 2L - 20, 3L - 25 minutes. For me, this method of sterilization is the most convenient, I have been using it for many years, I have not failed.

2. Step 2:

   

   For the recipe, of course, it is preferable to take fresh blueberries and make a preparation during the harvest season, but you can also cook from frozen berries. I have just frozen.

3. Step 3:

   

   Frozen berries do not need to be defrosted, just rinse under cool water. But the fresh one must be carefully sorted out, the damaged one removed and then washed qualitatively. Let the water drain, in addition I do not dry.

5. Step 4:

   

   Pour the prepared berry into a blender, add some sugar and chop. You can grind it in any convenient way / through a meat grinder, an immersion or stationary blender, it is possible to simply ceiling with a wooden, porcelain, marble pestle, a pusher /.

6. Step 5:

   

   Add sugar in several stages, blueberries will release juice and sugar will dissolve more easily. Scroll the puree until smooth.

7. Step 6:

   

   The finished puree is completely homogeneous. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes so that the sugar completely dissolves. Then pour into small sterilized jars and twist. Immediately remove and store in the refrigerator. It can be poured into bags or small yogurt bottles and frozen. If stored in a cellar, take 1:1 sugar
