Bird Cherry Jam with Pits

Description

A simple way to make preserves ahead of time. 1. Prepare the berries thoroughly: remove them from the stems, sort through them, and wash carefully. 2. I usually blanch berries like these, but for no more than 2 minutes. 3. While the bird cherry cools, prepare a sugar syrup; after 10 minutes of boiling, pour it over the berries. 4. Bring the jam to a boil, remove from the heat, and repeat this 3 more times. 5. Finally, pour the hot mixture into sterilized jars and seal them. I usually cover them with a warm blanket overnight, and in the morning I put them in the pantry. The preserve is ready for winter storage.
