The best jam is obtained from freshly picked berries.

If you buy berries, keep in mind that in order for the berries to remain intact and the jam to be tasty, the original product should consist of ripe and undamaged berries. The berries must be dry in appearance. If the berries are wet - then among them there are many damaged. Such a blackberry sour very quickly and loses its nutritional value.

First of all, it is necessary to sort through the berries in order to remove everything superfluous - randomly caught leaves, twigs, ponytails of berries, damaged berries. Then the blackberry must be washed and allowed to drain water. From rumpled blackberries you can cook a delicious compote, or grind them with sugar.

For cooking blackberry jam, nickel-plated or enameled dishes without chips and damage are well suited - a basin or a wide pan.

With a slight shaking of the dishes with jam, the remaining foam will collect on the surface of the jam in the middle, then it can be easily removed with a slotted spoon.

Blackberry jam It has many undeniable advantages, among which one can note the huge benefits for the body, excellent taste, attractive aroma and a wonderful bright appearance. The ability to use a short cooking process allows you to maximize the storage of nutrients in the finished dish. Such a delicacy is less common in homemade preparations than jam from the more common berries - raspberries, strawberries, cherries. However, in terms of the quantity of components valuable to the human body and taste characteristics, blackberry jam is not inferior to the latter, and sometimes even surpasses them.

There are a lot of options - from classic jam to unusual mixes with other berries and fruits.

Selection and preparation of berries

Before you make any blackberry jam, you need to stock up on knowledge of choosing and harvesting berries. The season of blackberry harvesting in the largest volumes falls on the second half of August. During this period, you can safely collect your own crop or buy berries at a not very high cost. There are several rules:

• when buying berries in the market, try to choose ripe but still elastic fruits. A soft, rumpled blackberry is only suitable if you decide to cook liquid jam or jam and chop the purchased sweet products;
• do not buy unripe berries, because the blackberry does not ripen in an already plucked state. From such berries jam will turn sour and tart;
• if you collect blackberries on your own, then try to do everything quickly and immediately put the harvested into processing so that during the subsequent washing the berries do not lose part of their precious juice;
• at home, sort out the fruits, remove adhering debris, leaves, etc. Then wash the berries. It is better to do this under a kitchen shower, because such a pressure of water is not able to damage the structure of a blackberry.

Advice! If possible, be sure to prepare a forest blackberry - it is many times more useful than its cultural counterparts!

Cooking containers

Ready jam is usually put in jars, and they must be sterilized. There are several ways to sterilize cans:

1. draw cold water into a large pan, immerse therein half-liter or liter jars, put the container on the fire and let the contents boil for about half an hour. Then take out the cans, turn them upside down and dry;
2. draw water into a small pan, put on top a wire rack or special sterilization device and boil water. In turn, put the cans on the wire rack (“head down”) and hold them for 15 minutes;
3. i personally use the least troublesome method of sterilization: I put the cans in a cold oven, warm them up at 180 degrees for about half an hour. After that, they do not even have to dry.
