Instruction manual
1
Peel the berries from leaves and sticks, rinse them. Take out the seeds from the cherry using a special tool. Fill the berries with half the norm of sugar and leave overnight. Cherry will give a lot of juice.
2
Put the cherry and sugar in the morning on medium heat and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and cool the jam. Pour all the syrup into a separate bowl, add the remaining sugar there, stir well and cook it over medium heat. Leave the pot with berries aside.
3
After a while, check the cherry syrup for density. Pour cold water into a saucer and drip a drop of syrup into it. It should not spread if a thick drop has formed - the syrup is ready.
4
Pour the berries into the finished syrup, mix and pour into pre-prepared washed and sterilized jars. When the cherry jam cools, it will be thick.
5
Cook thick aromatic jam from pitted cherries. Sort and rinse the berries. Boil the syrup from 1 cup of water and the whole amount of sugar. When it becomes transparent, put the cherries, mix, bring to a boil and turn off the heat.
6
Leave the jam to cool completely, then turn on the fire, bring it to a boil, remove from heat and wait until the jam has cooled. Put the jam on the fire for the third (last) time and cook it until tender. Determine the readiness as follows: drip a drop of jam on any cold surface (spoon, saucer). If the drop does not spread, it is ready.
7
While the cherry jam is boiling, rinse and sterilize the jars. Put hot jam in them and close with sterilized lids. Place the cans with the lids down, cover them with something that holds heat (such as newspapers and thick towels). After an hour, remove the "thermal insulation", turn the cans over, wait until they cool completely and put them away for storage.
