There are times when cherries in jam become wrinkled, dry and hard. This is more typical when cooking berries with pits, because the sugar is not absorbed as quickly.

I would like to share with you the secrets of how to properly prepare savory and fragrant cherry jam with pits so that the berries do not wrinkle.

To ensure that the berries are not wrinkled, they are cooked with triple heating. This method allows the syrup to be better absorbed into the cherries. Example recipe:

2 kilograms of cherries;
2 kilograms 500 grams of sugar;
200 ml water.

Cover the cherries with sugar and let them sit overnight (that is, in the dark) in the refrigerator. In the morning, pour water into the berries and place the dishes with them on the stove.
The sugar will dissolve a little and the product will boil, turn off the stove and wait 6 hours.
Repeat boiling, only now let the jam cook for a few minutes. Wait another 6 hours.
The final cooking lasts 5 minutes. Don't forget to remove the foam. After this you can roll up the jam.

Note: if after the third cooking the cherries remain wrinkled, just boil them again.

Cherry jam for the winter with pits

Homemade cherry jam is most often made from berries with seeds, because removing them takes a long time and is not particularly pleasant. Moreover, there are countless recipes in which doing this is absolutely not necessary.

By the way, almost all lovers of cherry jam cooked together with pits believe that after a year of storage the product becomes toxic due to the high content of hydrocyanic acid in the pits. This is nothing more than a myth.

The compacted shell of the seeds firmly holds the nucleoli and their contents and under the influence of gastric juice it is not destroyed even in this case, if part of the cherries is swallowed along with whole seeds. In addition, studies have shown that when heated to + 75 degrees, harmful substances are destroyed.

The calorie content of such jam is approximately 233 - 256 kcal/100 g. The differences are likely due to differences in the cherry-sugar ratio, so it is usually recommended to consume 1.0 to 1.5 parts of sweetness per 1 part of fruit.

Ingredients

Cherry: 500 g
Sugar: 500 g
Water: 2 tbsp. l.

{Instructions} manufacturing

I don’t keep the harvest collected from the cherry tree for a long time, but use it immediately so that the fruits do not spoil. I sort through the ripe berries, discarding damaged and spoiled specimens. I wash the raw materials in cold water.

I pick off the stalks of the cherries if they remain.

I pour sugar into the container with the cherries and shake it so that the sugar is moderately distributed among the berries. To quickly dissolve the crystals, I pour 2 tbsp. l. boiled water. I mix, covering the bowl from above, and send it to a cold space, for example, in the refrigerator, overnight (that is, in the dark) .

After a while I stir again. I put it on low heat. I constantly stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved in the cherry consistency.

After the cherry mass boils, cook it for 7-10 minutes over low heat, removing the foam. Then I remove the jam from the heat and keep it in the room until it cools completely.

The second time I cook (after it boils) for 30-40 minutes. over very low heat. Naturally, I skim off the foam again as it forms.

I check readiness by dropping a drop onto the dry bottom of the dish. When the cherry syrup finishes pouring and hardens into a beautiful ruby bead, the jam is ready. I place the treat in a warm, sterilized container while it’s hot. Having rolled up the jam hermetically with a seaming key, I turn the jars upside down, wrap them in something warm, and leave them until they cool.

After cooling, I transfer the cherry jam to a dark and cool space.

Tips and advice

Jam with seeds must be cooked following the following tips:

Take dishes that are low, wide and have a thick bottom. The alloy from which the container is made should not oxidize, because the berries contain a lot of organic acids. The best solution is an enamel basin.
It is better to stir the fruit mass during cooking with a wooden spoon or spatula from bottom to top.
When boiling, a whitish foam usually appears on the surface. It needs to be removed and will have to be re-created a couple of times.
If it happens that the finished jam quickly becomes sugary, it can be revived. To do this, transfer the product into a bowl or pan, pour 50 ml of water per 1 liter of jam, heat to a boil and boil until the sugar is completely dissolved. But you will have to eat the overcooked dessert first.
Jars and lids for long-term storage of jam must not only be thoroughly washed and sterilized, but also dried.
Cherries picked in rainy weather contain more acid and water. To prevent jam from such raw materials from fermenting, you need to add a little more sugar, a little citric acid and cook a little longer.
