Cranberries, pureed with sugar, without cooking

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 12 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make cranberries for the winter with sugar without cooking? Prepare the necessary ingredients. The easiest way to prepare cranberries for the winter while preserving all the vitamins contained in fresh berries is to puree them with sugar without cooking. All you need is cranberries and sugar. Carefully sort the cranberries, remove rotten berries to avoid fermentation and spoilage of the finished product.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the berries under running water, place in a colander and let the water drain well. You can puree the cranberries with a blender - this is the easiest and fastest way. You can also grind it through a sieve, then the mass will be homogeneous and jelly-like, without skin and seeds. However, they also contain useful substances, therefore, I believe that it is better not to separate the cake from the pulp. You can also use a meat grinder, food processor, or other kitchen appliance.

3. STEP 3

   

   However, it is believed that the acids in cranberry juice may react with the metal parts of these devices. Therefore, it is better to grind the berries with a wooden masher or spoon, but be careful, bursting berries may splash. Choose the option that suits you. If some berries remain intact in the grated cranberries, there is nothing to worry about.

4. STEP 4

   

   In the classic recipe for pureed cranberries, sugar and berries are added in equal parts. This amount of sugar allows you to store the finished product at room temperature. If, due to personal preferences, this amount of sugar seems excessive to someone, it can be reduced. Then the cranberries will not be stored for so long, and this will need to be done in a cold place, in the refrigerator or, even better, in the freezer.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add sugar to the pureed cranberries and stir. Cover the bowl with the contents with a cotton towel and leave overnight at room temperature. Sterilize the jars in the morning. To do this, wash them in running water and soda. Place the still wet jars upside down in a cold oven. Heat it to 150 °C and, after reaching this temperature, sterilize 0.5 liter jars for 10 minutes. Wash the lids, boil and dry.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the mixture in prepared jars. Roll up the lids and store in a cool place. Bon appetit!

I decided to make a small portion of cranberries for the winter with sugar without cooking. This berry is very rich in vitamins, but it does not grow in our steppe, so its taste is not very familiar to me. That makes it even more interesting to try! I took 200 g of frozen berries, by the way, the cranberries turned out to be large and fleshy. I defrosted it a little and punched it with an immersion blender. The mass turned out to be close to homogeneous, you couldn’t even feel the skins. After mixing with sugar, the mixture stood on the table for about 2-3 hours. During this time, all the sugar has dissolved. I think the time depends on the number of products, the more there are, the longer the sugar dissolves. Puréed cranberries with sugar amazed me with their taste! I know that this berry is bitter. But in this form she is simply gorgeous! Very tasty, sweet, slightly tart. Plus there are a lot of vitamins!

And I add 3 more lemons, ground with zest, to these cranberries. I first remove only the seeds from the lemons and grind the lemons and zest in a blender. I combine lemons with ground cranberries and sugar. I store this entire mixture in a cool place. We use it instead of jam for tea, and it is also good for making cranberry juice.
