Cover the berries with cheesecloth folded in half and leave overnight so they release their juice. 3) In the morning, put the saucepan with cloudberries on low heat and cook for 15–20 minutes. When all the sugar has dissolved, pour in the white wine, stir everything, and bring the mixture to a boil. 4) Then carefully remove the berries from the syrup and spread them into sterilized jars; add the remaining sugar to the syrup and cook it for another 10–12 minutes on low heat. 5) Pour the hot syrup over the berries in the jars and seal them. Turn the jars upside down and leave them that way until completely cool. Well, now you know how to seal cloudberry jam with white wine, so be sure to use this recipe as soon as berry season begins.
