Hawthorn jam

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make hawthorn jam for the winter? Prepare all the necessary products. It is better to use fresh hawthorn, or collect it immediately before making jam. Make sure that the berries are clean, without knots and leaves. I use white sugar, but if you want to give the finished jam a caramel taste, you can use brown sugar. You can use ground cinnamon and vanilla, or you can take a vanilla pod and a cinnamon stick.

2. STEP 2

   

   To make jam, it is best to use a pan with a thick bottom so that nothing burns. An article on saucepans, link at the end of the recipe, will help you choose the ideal pan for making jam. Pour water into the pan, add sugar and cook over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add cinnamon and vanilla sugar to the syrup, bring to a boil and remove from heat. Vanilla sugar can be replaced with vanillin. Read how to do this correctly in a separate article at the link after the recipe. You can also use other spices and seasonings. Ginger and nutmeg would be very appropriate.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the hawthorn well, remove the stalks and remaining flowers. We will make jam with seeds. And to be honest, I can’t even imagine how they can be removed from this berry.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the berries in the boiled syrup and leave for 12 hours. The time can vary from 10 to 24 hours.

6. STEP 6

   

   Look how the color of the hawthorn berries has changed. They turned some kind of yellow-orange.

7. STEP 7

   

   Bring the jam to a boil and cook over low heat for 30-35 minutes. Readiness can be determined by drop. Drop the syrup onto a saucer; if after a minute a drop does not flow from the inverted saucer, then the jam is ready. Prepare the jars: wash them with soda and sterilize them in a way convenient for you. How to calculate the required number of cans, as well as other interesting information about preservation, read the article about blanks, the link is at the end of the recipe.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the jam in jars and close or roll up tightly. Such a preparation is stored in the conditions of an ordinary apartment.

9. STEP 9

   

   In winter, such a delicacy will not leave anyone indifferent. In addition, it is also very useful. Enjoy your tea!
