Prune rowan juice for winter

Today I propose to prepare delicious and incredibly healthy berry juice from blackberries. It will turn out fragrant, delicious and very beautiful rich and deep color. And, of course, vitamin! This juice is usually to everyone's liking - both adults and kids. It can even be served on a festive table - it will look beautiful and surprise guests with its interesting taste and aroma. A good alternative to store-bought juices!

So, first of all, we sort out the berries. We remove all the spoiled and crumpled ones, then wash the rowan right on the twigs. We spread the rowan to dry on a clean and dry towel. You can blot the berries on top with another towel so that they dry faster. Next, remove the berries from the twigs, remove the leaves. While the berries are put in a container of a suitable size.

Also, I thoroughly wash the cherry leaves - they will add even more flavor to the drink. We also put them on a towel to dry.

Pour water into a large saucepan, then spread the rowan and half of the cherry leaves. We put the pan on high heat, bring its contents to a boil. When the liquid boils, reduce the heat to medium and cook everything together for 2-3 minutes. Next, remove the pan from the heat, cover with a lid and leave it in this form to stand for 2 days. Room temperature.

Time has passed - we throw everything into a colander, collecting juice. We pour it into a saucepan of a suitable size. Pour citric acid, granulated sugar and the remaining leaves into the juice. .again put the pan on high heat, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook everything together for 5 minutes. Turn off the fire, extract the leaves from the juice.

Pour the juice into pre-prepared sterile jars (you will need two liter jars in total), roll up with sterile lids. We wrap the jars with a blanket and leave them to cool down for a day. Next, we transfer the juice to the storage location. It can be stored even at room temperature.

Everything is ready!
