Nut Preserve
Description
Winter preserve made at home. To make walnut jam, you will need quite a lot of time! So be prepared not to rush. Choose large, whole walnuts. And we will make the jam as described below. So, here is the walnut jam recipe: 1. Pierce the walnuts on both sides with a sharpened stick and insert a clove into each hole. 2. Then place them in an enameled pot, cover with cold water, and leave them for 10 days. That is, do not forget about them at all—change the water every three days. 3. Boil the soaked walnuts for 15 minutes, drain, cover with cold water, and let stand for 24 hours. Now you will need to change the water 2–3 times. 4. After 24 hours, drain the walnuts in a colander and let them dry. 5. Meanwhile, boil a sugar syrup from water and sugar, let it cool to about 50°C, and immerse the walnuts in it. Add vanilla and cinnamon as well. Leave for 24 hours. 6. After 24 hours, remove the walnuts from the syrup and boil the syrup until it thickens. Repeat this boiling two more times in the same way. 7. When the sugar syrup is jelly-like, add the walnuts back in, simmer for 10 minutes, and finally spoon into clean warmed jars, seal, and cool at room temperature. Enjoy! Serve at the table or store in the pantry.
