What are we used to seeing walnuts? A strong shell, inside of which are delicious kernels that we just eat or add to soups, pastries, sauces, tinctures, salads, main dishes ... It turns out that you can make delicious jam from whole walnuts! And today we will learn how to do it. But remember - you have to stock up on time and patience.

The story of an unusual recipe

Do not be alarmed by our courage and determination: you can really make jam from walnuts. But not only from those that have already ripened, but from very young, the so-called milk maturity. These green fruits are still unsuitable for fresh food: they are bitter and taste not at all like the nucleoli that we compared in childhood with brains for appearance.

These very fruits will be needed for a tasty, fragrant and healthy jam. They need to be collected, depending on the region, from the end of May until the first decade of July. For example, in the south of our country already in mid-June, most often, nuts already enter the ripening period and become unsuitable for jam: the shell begins to form and harden.

To determine the desired level of ripeness, pierce the fetus with a toothpick. If it easily goes through and just as easily gets - feel free to collect nuts. You can check in this way each of them, because later on you still have to prick them.

This is what milk ripe walnuts look like for jam

Jam from unripe walnuts from ancient times is known in the Middle and Middle East, in the southern countries of Europe and Southeast Asia. Now this dessert is very popular in Italy, Spain, Greece, Moldova, Ukraine, the North Caucasus, in the Kuban.

In each region, the recipes for this dessert have their own characteristics, but they are all based on the same principle.

The general principle of making nut jam

Although walnuts of milk ripeness are very soft, compared with fully ripened walnuts, they still need additional processing before cooking. The juice of nuts is very bitter due to the high iodine content, so it should be removed by prolonged soaking.

Traditionally, nuts are not soaked in pure water, but in a lime solution at the rate of 100 g of substance per 1 liter of water.  Modern housewives are often indignant: "And so around is solid chemistry, also soak nuts in the lime!". Let's recall the school course in this wonderful subject.

Firstly, all the products known to us include chemical elements. Secondly, lime is nothing but calcium oxide, a harmless substance used everywhere in everyday life. It is not worth talking about the benefits of calcium for the body. If we recall that sodium chloride is sodium chloride (the result of the interaction of two toxic substances), you can be completely scared. However - add to most dishes, and nothing, very tasty.

Do not be afraid to use lime: it is just a harmless calcium oxide and not an evil poison that will poison your jam

Finish the excursion into the basics of chemistry and return to our jam. Nuts for him are soaked in a lime solution from 5 days to 2-3 weeks, until soft. Heavily darkened during this time is repeatedly pricked or cut in half, after which it is boiled for several hours in sugar syrup. The standard ratio of products is:

• 1 kg of soaked nuts;
• 1.2 kg of sugar;
• 1 liter of water.

The amount of ingredients may vary slightly depending on the region or even the preferences of the hostess. In addition, many people like to add spices to dessert - cinnamon, figs, anise, cloves.

By the way, it is desirable that the dishes for soaking nuts be made of stainless steel: aluminum is contraindicated for so long to contact with water and iodine contained in nuts, and you can not wash the enameled pan or bowl from persistent nut juice. For the same reason, you need to peel the nuts with gloves, so as not to go around for a week with black hands.

Peel walnuts only with gloves: nut juice is firmly eaten into the skin of the hands

What is the use of such a dessert?

Compared with ripe nuts, unripe fruits contain much more vitamins (groups B, E, PP), volatile, tannins, and vegetable fats. All of them are stored in fruits after making jam, albeit in smaller quantities.

In folk medicine, nut jam has been used for a very long time, it effectively treats diseases such as:

• rheumatism;
• gout;
• heart disease
• kidney and bladder diseases;
• angina;
• furunculosis;
• stomatitis;
• gastrointestinal tract diseases.

• nerve congestion;
• intense mental work;
• trouble sleeping;
• pressure surges;
• pregnancy (since jam contains the necessary amount of iodine);
• fast growth process of children.

Green Greek jam is a source of trace elements useful for the body

But it is worth noting that for people with a stomach ulcer, diabetes and obesity, walnut jam is contraindicated.

Recipes

We offer you some popular, not very complicated, but interesting ways to make jam.

Classical

It will take you a lot of time. And besides it you will need:

• 4 kg of green nuts;
• 2 liters of water;
• 2.5 kg of granulated sugar;
• 10 buds of cloves;
• 1 pinch of citric acid;
• for soaking nuts - slaked lime at the rate of 100 g per 1 liter of water.

Be sure to weigh the nuts: depending on their weight, you will have to adjust the amount of the remaining ingredients.

1. Rinse the nuts and put in a deep bowl or basin. Fill completely with water. At least every 6 hours, the water needs to be changed, and so - within 6-7 days. If you doubt that the nuts are already a little closer to ripening, keep them in the water for a week. But do not forget that you also need to change the water 4 times a day! Do not worry that the liquid takes on a greenish color: this peel of nuts gives off excess juice.

   

   Rinse unripe nuts with cold water and soak for a long time

2. Now is the time to prepare the mortar. Add 0.5 kg of lime to 5 liters of water. Stir the solution thoroughly and let it stand for 20-30 minutes.

   

   Prepare a solution of slaked lime

3. Discard the settled clear solution without sediment in a bowl with soaked nuts. Leave on for 24 hours. The fact that the surface of nuts darkens or becomes stained is a natural reaction, but not a reason to be scared and throw away the product!

   

   Soak the nuts in a lime solution for 24 hours.

4. After a day, thoroughly rinse the nuts in running cold water. If they are too large - cut them in half; chop smaller nuts with a fork in several places and deeper.

To enjoy the dessert, it is not necessary to purchase such jam in the store, it can be prepared at home, if you have at hand all the ingredients necessary for this.

Green walnuts jam: recipe

First of all, it should be noted that for the preparation of jam exclusively young nuts are used, which are still green in color and have reached only milk maturity. They are distinguished by a soft shell. The process of harvesting fruits for direct preparation has some subtleties. This is due to the peculiar bitterness of the feedstock. To get rid of the unpleasant taste, still unripe nuts are placed in cold water and left soaked for about two days. Before that, they are cleaned of green crust.

Do not forget to put on gloves while cutting green nuts. Due to the high concentration of iodine in their composition, the skin of the fingers will very quickly turn dark.

Throughout the soaking, the water should be changed regularly - at least three times a day. Then you need to drain the water, and pour the nuts with a lime solution. To prepare it, use cold water and hydrated lime. In the resulting solution, leave the nuts for at least four hours. Then strain them so that you can eliminate the bitter taste of the feedstock. At the final stage, thoroughly rinse the nuts under running water.

Jam made from walnuts has another nuance - after all the manipulations done, the nuts need to be pierced with a fork in several places, and then again placed in cold water, but for two days. Then the syrup itself is prepared, in which the nuts will be cooked. To prepare it, ordinary sugar and water are used, you can add cinnamon or cloves if desired.

Consider the ratio of proportions in more detail:

• 40 pcs. unripe nuts;
• 3 cups sugar;
• 1.75 l of water for soaking and one glass already for making syrup;
• 1 tsp citric acid - added if desired in water for harvesting nuts;
• cloves, cinnamon - to taste.

When the syrup is ready, boil the nuts in it for about ten minutes and leave it in this state for about a day. So they can get enough sugar and get a good taste. Further, the cooking process must be continued. Half an hour is enough for this, but a more accurate sign that the nuts are already ready will be their black luster. Do not forget to throw a bag of ground spices into the water while boiling. This gives the jam a more pleasant aftertaste. Then it should be poured into the banks while still hot.

If you want green walnuts to get an unusual taste, you can move away from the classic recipe. So, some say that jam gets a pleasant aftertaste, if you add vanilla to it along with the usual spices.

As for cooking utensils, it is highly recommended not to use copper or aluminum products for this purpose. When these materials undergo heating, they begin to break down, which will lead to metal particles getting into the jam. The most optimal option is the use of enameled containers, as well as stainless steel. Before proceeding directly to cooking, all dishes and lids should be washed. For this, water with the addition of baking soda is used. Then scald the containers with boiling water and dry thoroughly.
