Cherry jam with pits and gelatin

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients for the jam. It is better to take sweet varieties of cherries for jam with gelatin, well ripe, but not overripe. The berries in the jam remain whole, so they must be fresh, without dents or damage. We wash the cherries well under running water, remove leaves, twigs, rotten fruits, and place the cherries in a colander. Let the water drain and the berries dry.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour gelatin with cold boiled water and let it swell, leaving for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, add sugar to the cherries, put on the fire and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook the jam for about 5 minutes. Remove the foam formed on the surface.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour some of the cherry syrup into a bowl with gelatin, mix, pour into a metal bowl and put on fire. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until the gelatin dissolves.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour the gelatin solution into the bowl with the cherry jam, mix well so that the jelly mixture combines with the cherry syrup and nourishes the berries. Turn on the heat again, bring the mixture to a boil, remove from the heat. Prepare the jam jars in advance. It is better to take small jars. We sterilize them in any convenient way: in a water bath or in the oven. Boil the lids for the jars.

5. STEP 5

   

   Immediately put the jam into jars so that the berries are covered with syrup. We roll up the jars with lids. Turn the jars upside down, wrap them in a warm blanket and let them cool completely. Store in a cool place. Before serving the jar of jam or putting it in a bowl, you need to keep it in the refrigerator so that the jelly hardens. Bon appetit!
