Description
A simple way to make preserves ahead of time. In fact, when it comes to preserves and how to make them, you can freely use your imagination and come up with your own unique combinations—there are no limits here. For example, if you love raspberries and cherries, combine them and make raspberry and cherry jam at home. Don’t be afraid that something will go wrong or that the jam will turn out unappetizing; trust me, this pairing works very well, and these two berries complement each other perfectly. So go ahead and get started, and to make everything easier for you, I’ll help and explain in detail how to can raspberry and cherry jam quickly and simply. 1) First, sort the berries carefully, discard wormy ones, remove any debris, rinse them, and pit the cherries. 2) In a saucepan, mix the sugar and water and place over heat. Heat the mixture, stirring, until the sugar dissolves completely, and make a syrup. 3) Put the berries in a deep saucepan or basin and pour the boiling syrup over them; leave them like this for 4–5 hours, or overnight. 4) Then place the berry mixture over heat and cook the jam until fully done, about 20–25 minutes. 5) Pack the hot jam into sterilized jars and seal with lids. This jam has a very interesting and unusual flavor, and the longer you cook it, the thicker and sweeter it will be. Store in a cool, dark place.
