Cherry jam with soda

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook cherry jam? Measure out the required ingredients. Wash the cherry well, remove the twigs and seeds. It is better to do this with a special device, it will turn out faster. Otherwise, you will have to pick out the bones with a knife or look for a life hack on this topic on the Internet.

2. Step 2:

   

   Scroll the peeled cherry pulp through a meat grinder or chop with a blender. Immediately do this in the dish in which you will cook the berry. It should be wide - so that the evaporation area is as large as possible.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the dishes with the cherry mass on the stove on a high heat. Bring to a boil and boil for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you have concerns that the mixture is burning from below, turn down the heat.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add soda to the cherry.

5. Step 5:

   

   Soda will react and the mass will turn green, don't be scared! Keep stirring the jam, and the color will turn red again.

7. Step 6:

   

   Add sugar and cook for another 40 minutes, but now reduce the heat to low. And mix the future jam periodically! It should become moderately thick. The degree of boiling can be checked drop by drop. Drop the jam on a plate and see if the drop spreads or not.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour hot cherry jam into sterile jars and roll up with boiled lids. You can sterilize the cans, like me, in the microwave. I pour water on the bottom and sterilize for 2-3 minutes at a power of 800.

9. Step 8:

   

   Wrap the jars in a towel and wait until they cool down. Store at room temperature in any dark place.
