Step-by-step preparation

Cooking timeCooking time: 2 hr 30 mins
  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    We make sure to pick out fresh blackberries. There can be a lot of garbage and rotten berries there.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Pour everything into a bowl and rinse the fruits in water. This must be done several times.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    Then drain these waters and pour cold water over the blueberries. Let's let it sit for about 30 minutes. During this time, a midge will emerge, which may well settle there, and other things that are inappropriate for our preparation.

  4. STEP 4

    STEP 4

    While the trial is in progress, let’s sterilize the jar and lid. I chose a 150-gram jar - it’s convenient to store blueberries in such a container.

  5. STEP 5

    STEP 5

    When you are sure that everything is in order in terms of unwanted elements, drain the water. I did this using a sieve - even after washing there was a lot of all sorts of useless stuff left there.

  6. STEP 6

    STEP 6

    Having drained the water, we must now remove as much moisture as possible from the berries. I scattered them in a thin layer, so that they did not touch each other, on a moisture-permeable base. You can also place the berries on a clean towel.

  7. STEP 7

    STEP 7

    Well, now let's pour water into the pan that you selected for this purpose. Those. it should be tall and spacious in width. Having poured the berries into the jar, put it in the pan. Attention - the water should reach the shoulders of the jar, but not higher.

  8. STEP 8

    STEP 8

    Let's let the water boil. Reduce the heat and let the berries sterilize. Look at this photo - there are fewer berries, they have become softer, and we will report a new portion.

  9. STEP 9

    STEP 9

    If you see that the volume does not change, i.e. the berry has stopped decreasing in size and the juice has covered it, sterilize it under the lid for about five minutes and turn off the gas.

  10. STEP 10

    STEP 10

    Close the jar with a key or screw the lid tightly. Wrapping it in something warm, let the jar cool. But keep in mind that such a workpiece should then stand in a cold place. And it will last almost until spring. You can close several of these small jars. With 300 g of fresh blueberries, I got a little over 160 g.
