Felt cherry jam with pits

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for the jam. There are only two of them: cherry berries and sugar. Cherries can be purchased in a store or at the market, or collected on your site. The main thing is that the berries are fresh and ripe. We thoroughly wash the berries under running water, remove the garbage, damaged berries, throw the cherries into a colander, let the water drain. Then put the cherry berries in a saucepan or other deep metal container.

2. Step 2:

   

   Metal utensils that can give oxidation from berry juice cannot be used, otherwise the taste of the product will be completely spoiled. Sprinkle the berries with sugar so that it completely covers the cherry, and leave at room temperature overnight. If there are a lot of berries, then sugar cherries need to be poured in layers, that is, first a layer of berries, pour sugar on top, berries and sugar again, and so on, until all the cooked cherries are finished. It is necessary that the cherry let go with

3. Step 3:

   

   In the morning we put a saucepan with cherries on medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring the contents periodically so that the sugar dissolves and does not stick to the bottom. When the jam starts to boil, turn off the fire, you do not need to boil it. The foam formed on the surface is removed with a slotted spoon. The jam preparation is left alone for 12 hours at room temperature.

5. Step 4:

   

   After the specified time, once again bring the cherry jam to a boil, also do not let it boil. Again we set aside for 12 hours to rest.

6. Step 5:

   

   For the third time, we cook the jam on high heat, stirring constantly, and already let it boil for a few minutes (about 5).

7. Step 6:

   

   Then the cherry jam should be immediately spread hot in pre-prepared (washed and sterilized jars), rolled up, let cool at at room temperature and store in a cool place. Bon appetit!
