In summer, many housewives try to stock up on the maximum number of blanks for the winter, so that in winter you can even eat foods that you can find in frosty times. To do this, they can preserve vegetables and fruits, prepare salads for the winter, roll fruit drinks, and also freeze various berries. But if you can open a can of preservation and immediately start eating, then frozen berries are not so nice to eat. And here the question immediately arises: what to cook from frozen berries so that they and their vitamins do not lose, and their taste has become much more pleasant.

Morse

From frozen berries you can make a wonderful refreshing drink - fruit drink, which you can drink at least all day. And you can cook it from whole berries of strawberries, raspberries, cranberries or a mixture of these berries. These berries, in the amount of one glass, you just need to pour to the bottom of the pan and pour 3 cups of boiling water. Then you will need to wait until the berries in the boiling water are thawed and let the juice flow, and as soon as this happens, all that remains is to add sugar to the pan and mix everything thoroughly. Naturally, you can take more berries, but in this case, you just need to proportionally increase the amount of boiling water.

But revising recipes from frozen berries, you can see that there is another way to prepare fruit drinks. In accordance with it, the frozen berries must first be crushed in a mixer, then add sugar to taste to them, and then pour cold boiled water, mix and let it brew so that the berries let juice. Before use, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or a mint leaf to the fruit drink.

Compote

To make a compote, you need to take any frozen berries, toss them in a pot of water and put to boil. At the same time, in order for the compote from frozen berries to be very tasty and have a rich aroma, it is necessary to observe the proportion in accordance with which 2 full handfuls of berries must be taken per 1 liter of water. Compote is usually boiled for half an hour, and 10 minutes before the end of cooking, you can add a teaspoon of citric acid, a pinch of cinnamon or mint to it. And when the compote is ready, it only remains to cool and serve, and everyone can already put sugar on their own, focusing on their taste sensations.

Kissel

Cooking jelly from frozen berries is also not difficult. This nourishing, mouth-watering and aromatic drink can be made from any berries, literally in two counts. You only need to put a pot of water on the fire, and as soon as the water boils, throw the berries there in accordance with the proportion - 2 handfuls of berries per 1 liter of water and sugar at your discretion. And a little later, 10 minutes before the end of cooking, it remains only to add starch to the pan with a thin stream, which first will need to be diluted with water. Now it remains only to add the kissel for the remaining time, not forgetting to stir it, and the delicious drink will be completely ready for use.

Wine

If the recipes for compote, kissel and fruit drink from frozen berries are very easy to prepare, then in order to make wine from frozen berries you will have to work hard, but the result will be simply amazing. To make such a wine, you must first unfreeze the berries, and then pour them into a three-liter jar so that they almost reach the middle of the jar. Then pour 400 grams of sugar in this jar and pour warm boiled water there so that it does not reach the top by 3-4 cm. Mix the mixture in the jar thoroughly with a wooden spoon, pull on the top of the jar an ordinary medical glove with a pierced finger, and set the jar in a warm, dark place for 20 days.

After the allotted time, you can try the future wine, if it is too acidic, you can add another 200 grams of sugar there and again send it to ferment, after stirring the sugar so that it completely dissolves. And now you will need to constantly look at the bottle with the glove, because as soon as the glove stops inflating, it will need to be filtered through cheesecloth, folded twice, into a saucepan, then wait another day, and pour the wine into bottles with screw caps. Everything, the wine is ready to drink, but it is better to let it brew for a year, so that its taste will especially please you.

It turns out very delicious cherry wine. About that, you can find out by clicking on the link.

Pie

But not only aromatic drinks can be prepared from berries. All children and adults will also love the pie of frozen berries, which can be enjoyed with tea. You can make the dough for such a pie in the same way that usually, most importantly, you will need to make small sides around the entire perimeter of the rolled dough that will not allow juice from the berries to leak after baking. Having rolled out the dough, you can take on the berries that need to be mixed with sugar and spread evenly over the entire surface of the pie. That's all, nothing else needs to be done - just put the pie in the oven to bake for the same time and at the same temperature as usual.

Jelly

A delicious dessert for the whole family will also be jelly from frozen berries, which is very easy to prepare. To make it, the first thing you need to sort out a pound of berries, rinse them and leave to dry. In parallel with this, 1 tablespoon of dry gelatin will need to be diluted in a glass of cold water and also set aside for 2 hours.

After the allotted time, dissolve the jelly obtained in a glass in a water bath, but in no case bring it to a boil. Berries, meanwhile, are divided into two unequal parts - we put aside the smaller part to decorate the dessert, and chop the larger in a mortar to a puree state. After that, let the berry puree stand a little and separate the juice, and then pour it into a separate bowl, and pour 2 cups of boiled water into the puree and put it on the fire. As soon as the mixture boils, throw 100 grams of sugar to it and cook until it is completely dissolved.

Now there are mere trifles - the cooled broth will need to be filtered through cheesecloth, add to it the set aside juice, which previously stood out from the berries, and the set gelatin mixture. We mix everything and pour it into silicone molds, the bottom of which is pre-covered with delayed frozen berries. We send dessert to the refrigerator, and in half an hour the jelly will be completely ready for use.

A little more about tiramisu

• Instead of frozen cherries, raspberries, strawberries, or wild berries can be used successfully to make dessert.
• You can put berries in tiramisu not whole, but in the form of mashed potatoes, whipping them in a blender.
• Instead of savoyardi cookies, you can bake a classic biscuit.

• The shape of tiramisu can be different. And this dessert is not necessarily prepared in portions - tiramisu cakes are very popular.

Frozen berries in cooking can be used only in some cases. For example, if you cook compote, jelly, porridge from them. For smoothies and cocktails, half-thawed. But if you are going to take up baking or desserts, then the snowy beauties must be brought back to life. How to do it right?

Most often, frozen berries are found in recipes with these five products:

The first one. When defrosting berries, a lot of liquid and juice are secreted. For dishes in which strict proportions of dry and wet products are observed, everything unnecessary to death is similar (not literally, of course)). Therefore, the berries should not only be brought to room temperature, but also drained from them excess moisture after. It is not necessary to pour it into the sink - it can be used for cooking compote.

The second one. It is highly likely that the drained berry juice is exactly what your pie lacks. That is, together with excess fluid, we will remove the juiciness. How to avoid this? To take risks, namely: to roll the frozen berries in starch and add to the filling in this form. Starch absorbs all unnecessary, and the cake does not leak. The bad part: he will add calories to the dish.

It is better to defrost any frozen foods gradually. In this case, less fluid will be released, more vitamins will remain. For berries, you can use:

• a stream of cold water from the tap (berries should be in the polyethylene at the same time)
• paper towels and room temperature
• the lowest compartment of the refrigerator (it is better to put them there in advance, for example, at night, to cook the next day)
• microwave (get ready to release a large amount of juice)
