Pyatiminutka blackcurrant jam. Recipe for making classic currant jam

Finally, blackcurrants have ripened this summer! I found a similar recipe in Povarenka, but still I offer my vision of this preparation, because there are discrepancies and, in my opinion, significant ones. They are about taste. Well, it’s up to the hostesses to decide about the result! I can only say that the taste of this jam turns out to be impeccable - not too sharp, not too cloying, which has been tested on all my dear and beloved ones. There are only enough supplies for the season!

Ingredients for "The most delicate currant jam "Five minutes"":

Recipe "The most delicate currant jam "Five minutes"":

So! indicated 30 minutes very conditionally, because the cooking process itself is very short, but the preparation of jars for jam is very important, because then there will be no time left for this!

We take fresh currants without twigs and other debris, wash them, measure the required portion into a separate bowl - 7 cups of berries and leave it to dry slightly. While the berry dries up, prepare the jars.

According to my many years of experience, it is enough to rinse the jars with soda, rinse thoroughly, and before loading the jam, put it in the microwave for a minute, who does not have one - hold it over the spout of a boiling kettle before droplets run along the walls. I also wash the lids and put them in a saucepan with water on the fire to be sterilized.

When the preliminary preparation is completed, we can proceed directly to the process.

I choose a 5-liter saucepan with a heavy bottom for such a quantity of ingredients, so that when the berries boil rapidly, our delicious delicacy does not run away from us onto the stove. I prefer stainless steel cooking utensils. And sterility is higher, and does not burn.

I put the pot on high heat. I add 3/4 cup of water. I want to draw your attention to the fact that "glass" is now a relative value. Therefore, do it easier, we do all measurements with the SAME GLASS! Then our proportions will be preserved. I measured everything, including the berry, with this glass.

When the water boils, gradually (!!! this is important !!!) pour sugar into it one glass at a time, stirring patiently, trying to bring the sugar to its complete dissolution - at least up to the 4th glass. The more patience you show in this particular moment, the better your currant will then gel when it cools down. In this place lies the first secret of a successful jam.

When all the sugar is dissolved, pour in the berry measured in advance with 7 glasses. Here lies the second secret of a successful jam. It is important not to delay the dissolution of sugar, otherwise it will soon begin to caramelize with you, but we don’t need it at all! So!

The whole berry was poured into the actively boiling sugar syrup at once and we actively mix it, not paying attention to its resistance. I remind you that everything happens on the most active fire. It is important! We don’t leave the stove, we constantly stir the jam, otherwise it can either burn or run away from you.

And now, when the first foam begins to form, we detect 5 minutes. In parallel, put the jars in the microwave for 1 minute. With the appearance of foam and active boiling, it is important to remove the foam into a pre-prepared container and prevent the jam from overflowing. To do this, sometimes you have to lift the saucepan over the fire and shake it slightly so that the foam gathers towards the center, so it is easier to collect it. Do not worry if you do not collect all the foam, this is a manifestation of the boiling of sugar, so when cooling, the tatters will not be in jars. But patience must be shown.

As soon as your jam boils for 5 minutes over high heat, remove from heat and begin to lay out in jars. And here is one more of the secrets - experienced hostesses know this, but I am now turning to the young ones. To ensure that your work of art never blooms, always place your blanks according to the principle "Cold in cold, hot in hot." And another good tip, I have been using it for a long time. The roof, when I fish it out of boiling water, slightly shake it off the water and pour about 1 tbsp. spoons of vodka or something similar in strength, rinse and pour back into the glass to the next cap. And only then I twist the jar filled with hot jam to the very brim. With this approach, your bins will never go bad. And then you can store them simply in a kitchen cabinet or pantry.

I put the jars under a towel until completely cool. There is no beauty photo, because I cooked two portions today, quickly poured it into jars and went to work. And what happened, I present to your judgment. Time spent from the beginning of the preparation of jars to the cleaning of the stove - 1 hour 30 minutes.

I made blueberries with the same cooking principle, it turned out magically! The berries remained intact, not overdried, in a thick and not sugary syrup. Despite the fact that often blueberries turn out to be watery, but here the result simply pleased me. And what, of course, is important for all housewives, the berry is practically "alive", saving most of its vitamins for our loved ones !!! And the color is a deep ruby! From the bottom of my heart I wish everyone the joy of culinary creativity!

Blackcurrant jam with gooseberries without cooking

This is an interesting recipe, it uses gooseberry and blackcurrant juice instead of berries as ingredients.
Compound:
250 g blackcurrant juice
250 g gooseberry juice
0.75 kg of granulated sugar
From this amount of products, 750 g of dense and thick jelly will come out. It will take 1.5 hours to prepare a dessert for two days.

Cooking:



First you need to prepare the berries for blackcurrant jam. All leaves, twigs and dried particles should be removed from them.



All berries must be washed and waited for them to dry, after which the fruits should be transferred to a basin or pan. It is optimal to take dishes made of stainless steel. You don't need to add water.


We put the saucepan on a small fire. The berries need to be slightly warmed up on the fire, and they will release the juice themselves. The fruits should be pressed down a little with a spatula or a wooden spoon.



Berries must be rubbed through a sieve. You can also use a blender or juicer.
Now we measure the amount of juice obtained. Sugar should be 1.5 times more. That is, for 1 cup of berry syrup, you need to use 1.5 or 2 cups of granulated sugar.


The resulting mass is poured into a wide bowl. To it you need to pour sand in small portions. It must be mixed with a wooden spoon. When the sugar dissolves, the container must be closed and left overnight.


In the morning, you can distribute currant jam in jars. If this is difficult to do due to the solidification of the mass, you can heat it over low heat for just a minute.


When the jelly is completely frozen in the jars, they need to be rolled up with screw caps. Usually such blackcurrant jam with gooseberries without cooking does not require special storage conditions. Jelly can be left in the room without any problems. The main thing is to follow the step-by-step instructions during the cooking process and do not place containers with blanks near heating sources. Happy tea!

But there is a more interesting option for harvesting chokeberry for the winter, making five-minute jam from black currant.
Such a preparation is done in a matter of minutes, and you can store sweetness all winter without fear for the freshness of the berries. There are a large number of recipes that will make it possible to make jelly out of sweetness, or simply keep each berry intact, as if it had never been cooked. This type of jam can be cooked not only from currants, today housewives use raspberries, strawberries, cherries and cherries of various varieties, as well as honeysuckle and gooseberries for preparations.

This article will present various cooking options, as well as currant blanks will be combined with other berries, which will make it possible to make jam that is unique in taste. At the same time, the cooking technology in most cases is no different, but the amount of sugar in the sand can vary from less to more.

The following recipe will make it possible to prepare Blackcurrant Pyatiminutka jam in such a way as to obtain a fairly thick mass. It is this blank that will be ideal for starting pies and pies, buns or buns.




Jam made in 5 minutes from blackcurrant

Ingredients for preparing the blank:

Sugar - no more than 2 kilograms;
Blackcurrant - about 1.5 kilograms;
1 glass of filtered water.

Cooking process:

If you consider the composition of the ingredients, you will notice that you don’t have to use a lot of products to make Pyatiminutka blackcurrant jam, because it contains only a little water, sugar and fresh currant berries. You can start preparing delicacies, for this one and a half kilograms of berries are taken and washed well in clean water, then all the fruits, along with water, are sent to a colander to make the liquid glass.

While the berries are resting, you can start preparing the syrup. To do this, a large saucepan is taken, it is necessary to take a container much larger than the volume of the future jam, since the delicacy will foam a lot. Filtered water is poured into the pan, two kilograms of white sugar in the sand are poured into the same place, and syrup is boiled from the resulting mass.

As soon as the syrup turns slightly yellow, the hostess lowers the prepared berries into it, and wait until the jam begins to boil, it is important to stir the future sweetness every thirty seconds.

To get "five-minute" blackcurrant jam with whole fruits, you need to count five minutes after the start of boiling, turn off the heat and leave the jam for a while. The delicacy should stand until completely cooled, but before leaving it, it is worth shaking the container so that the fruits sink to the bottom and the jelly moves up.

As soon as the delicacy is completely cooled, the jam begins to boil again, the pan is left on low heat until the liquid begins to boil again, after which the delicacy will again have to be shaken so that the jelly moves to the top.

As soon as the mass has cooled to the desired temperature, the jam will have to be put on fire and boiled for no more than five minutes. Thus, it turns out that the jam is cooked exactly three times for five minutes, you should not leave the sweetness on the fire for longer, otherwise the fruits will boil.




You can not close the jars with metal lids, you just need to make nylon lids and cover glass containers with them, but in this case, the jam should be stored only in the refrigerator.

To make the process of dissolving sugar faster, you can warm the jam a little over low heat, but do not bring it to a boil. Pour currant jam into clean and dry jars and close with ordinary plastic lids.

If the jam was warmed up, then before pouring into a jar, it should be completely cooled. Blackcurrant jam "Pyatiminutka", prepared in this way, can be stored all winter in the refrigerator or cold cellar.

An easy way to make jam from currant berries

Ingredients:

Currant berries - no more than 2 kilograms;
About three glasses of water (200 ml each);
White sugar in the sand - about 3 kilograms.

How to make blackcurrant jam:

Three glasses of water are poured into a large saucepan, no more than six hundred milliliters of filtered liquid should be obtained, three kilograms of white sugar in the sand are poured into the same place. The resulting mass is well mixed, but since the sugar in such an amount of water is not completely mixed, you will have to let the syrup stand for a while so that the granulated sugar is completely dissolved. As soon as this happens, you can pour two kilograms of washed chokeberry berries with syrup, the whole mass is sent to a slow fire until it boils.

Often, housewives wonder how to cook five-minute blackcurrant jam, but everything is very simple, because you just need to bring the berries with sugar to a boil and constantly skim off the foam, which will rise with a large hat. After boiling, you should immediately turn off the fire, since it makes no sense to cook the berries longer, it is important that no more than five minutes pass after boiling, otherwise the currants will boil.

There is a slightly different option for preparing sweets, you can simply pour the jam with water, and then, after boiling, add more than two kilograms of granulated sugar, only 1-1.5 kg of white sugar. In this case, a jam is obtained that will not have a sugary sweet taste, it will retain the pleasant sourness of currant berries.

As experienced housewives say, this jam does not like to be actively mixed, as the berries quickly lose their shape. It is recommended to immediately pour the finished jam into sterilized jars, but if you don’t want to sterilize, then you can just wash them well.




The most delicious and simple jam from currant berries

Cooking Ingredients:

Purified filtered water - 1 glass;
Blackcurrant - 1 kilogram;
Sugar - about 1.5 kilograms (you can take 1 kg).

The process of preparing treats:

To prepare five-minute blackcurrant jam according to the recipe from this article, you need to pick up the largest berries from this shrub plant. Rinse all the fruits thoroughly, remove the stalks and excess debris, after which it is recommended to discard the berries in a colander, this will help get rid of excess water. Then all the berries are transferred to a dry towel and left for a while, this is necessary to dry the fruits.

While the berries dry out, the hostess should start preparing the syrup. For this, a large saucepan is taken, which has a thick bottom, no more than a glass of filtered water is poured into it, the amount of white sugar in sand required by the recipe is poured into it and a slow fire is lit. The syrup must be boiled until the sugar is completely dissolved, if you want to get a more liquid delicacy, then not one, but one and a half or two glasses of pure water is added to the syrup.

Most often, water is not added to this jam at all, but still a five-minute delicacy needs a small amount of liquid, since the berries do not have time to release the liquid, so the syrup can turn into a solid jelly after cooling. The advantage of this delicacy is that the vitamins in this jam are stored in greater quantities than with long-term cooking. As soon as the syrup begins to boil, the hostess detects no more than five minutes, after which she adds clean and dry currant berries there.

While the delicacy is being cooked, it is constantly necessary to remove the foam from it, which is formed in large volume due to the concentrated syrup. As soon as the syrup with berries boils, it is boiled for no more than five minutes and removed from heat. After that, the jam is immediately sent to sterilized glass containers.

Such sweetness is stored only in a cool place, a cellar or basement is suitable. You can create such a delicious jam using different methods, because if you add a little more granulated sugar, then the jam will be sweeter, but if you add less sugar, then the sweetness will have a noticeable sourness. Also, fresh strawberries, raspberries or cherries are put in the delicacy, this helps to diversify the recipe.

At the same time, she is a real storehouse of usefulness. And in terms of the content of vitamin C, it will overtake all other berries, and contains rutin, which, in combination with ascorbic acid, will strengthen your blood vessels. The high content of pectin and fiber will ensure the removal of toxic substances accumulated in the body.

In addition, it is rich in minerals: potassium, iron, copper, zinc, manganese. This is useful for hematopoiesis, and it will have a good effect on the condition of the skin and hair. In winter, preparations from this berry will help you successfully fight colds. And finally, it's just delicious.

Currant jam "Five minutes": recipe

How to preserve all the wealth contained in a modest-looking, but very useful berry? After all, you yourself know that it is simply necessary. I will offer ordinary and not quite ordinary recipes that will allow you not only to preserve the vitamins in the blanks as much as possible, but also help diversify your winter menu.

Let's start with the simplest: jam "Pyatiminutka" blackcurrant. Our great-grandmothers had to cook jam for a long time, so that the sugar already began to caramelize, because in those days it was difficult to store the workpiece so that it would not deteriorate at room temperature. Seamers and screw caps did not exist.

Now all this is available to us, thanks to this, the heat treatment of fruits, vegetables and berries can be minimized and all the useful substances contained in them can be preserved to the maximum.




It is on this principle that we will prepare "Five minutes" of blackcurrant. Stock up on pre-sterilized jars and lids.

From my point of view, it is convenient to take small jars so that the contents are used as quickly as possible. And the useful substances stored in the jam will not be lost when storing an already open jar, and the refrigerator will not be cluttered. Perhaps at first it will cost more than large-volume cans, but we stock up on containers more than once, they will serve us for many years.

In addition, often small jars are available on the farm after buying various products. The jars are prepared, and from the ingredients we only need a little water, sugar and currant berries. My berries, let them drain well and separate from the brush.

Would need

    1/2 cup white granulated sugar;

    2 teaspoons of water;

    1 cup blackcurrants (separated from the bunch)

Dissolve sugar with water in a saucepan for jam. As soon as it starts to dissolve, add the berries and, as soon as it boils, cook for no more than five minutes. We remove the foam, otherwise the workpiece may become moldy with it. Pour the finished jam into a sterile jar and close. Turn on the lid and let cool under a towel. Sterilization is not required. As you can see, the recipe is very simple and accessible even to novice cooks. But I like it better when the berries are mashed. Therefore, as a recipe option, the same ingredients can be loaded into a blender, and the resulting mixture can then be boiled like whole berries. At the same time, you can do without water. preserve the vitamins in its composition as much as possible.


Blackcurrant jam five-minute jelly

To improve the separation of the pulp from the skin, put the berries in a colander, rinse, and then immerse the colander in a bowl of boiling water for a minute. After that, we take it out and quickly cool it under running water, then wipe it through a sieve with a pusher or spoon.

We mix the resulting puree with granulated sugar, put the pan on the fire and wait until the mixture boils. Let it simmer for 4-5 minutes over low heat. Don't forget to remove the foam. Our jelly is ready and you can pour it into sterile jars.

It will keep well at room temperature. The ratio of berries and sugar can be 1:0.8. That is, for a kilogram of berries, we need 800 grams of granulated sugar.


Blackcurrant jam five-minute jelly it is quite possible to cook with other fruits, for example, by adding apples to it, which also contain a lot of pectin, and a small amount of blackcurrant liqueur will emphasize the taste and aroma of the workpiece. To prepare the blank, we need:

    1/2 kg of peeled berries;

    1/2 kg apples with dense pulp (Antonovka type);

    kilogram of white granulated sugar;

    2 teaspoons of blackcurrant liqueur.

Apples are pre-peeled from cores and peel, grated or chopped in a blender. Mix chopped apples with currants and liquor in a saucepan. If the apple is not juicy enough, add a few tablespoons of water and heat the whole mixture over low heat to soften. It is necessary to heat without sugar for about 10-15 minutes, without bringing to a boil.

As soon as the fruit softens, gradually add sugar to the mixture, mix thoroughly and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for no more than five minutes, then pour into sterile jars and seal tightly with lids.

Then, as usual: turn the lids down, cover with a towel and let cool. After that, we remove the mixture for storage. If the pectin content in apples was high enough, then you will get currant five-minute jelly. In general, currant puree after cooking is often gelled by itself. If you want to strengthen the consistency, then agar-agar or pectin will come to the rescue (for some companies it is called Quittin), it is not a problem to buy them in stores now, and the proportions are indicated on the pack.


Currant five-minute jelly


Americans are big fans of jelly, moreover, they cook it quite sweet, but at the same time with the addition of hot pepper. It turns out such a spicy and at the same time sweet seasoning. It is most often used on sandwiches over soft cream cheese. Why don't we make something similar. Currant jam "Five-minute-jelly" performed according to American traditions, it will look somewhat unusual, but this will not make it less tasty.

In this recipe, you can use any currant: black, red, white or golden. My berries, let stand on a sieve or colander to glass the water. We grind them with a blender or you can just mash them with a potato masher in a saucepan in which we will cook. We clean the sweet and bitter peppers from the stalks and cores and finely chop (you can also chop with a blender without fanaticism). Add pepper to berries. Then add sugar, mix and put on fire.

Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 4-5 minutes. You can add spices to taste: cinnamon, mustard seeds, a couple of stars of star anise, or others that seem appropriate to you. But this is not at all necessary. Then pass the mixture through a sieve. Pour pectin or agar-agar into the resulting puree, pour in apple or white wine vinegar (you can also add ordinary table vinegar, but the taste will be rougher), bring to a boil and boil for no more than a minute with stirring.

If there is foam, we remove it, after which we immediately pour the workpiece into pre-prepared sterilized jars. Next, let them cool on the lids and put the chilled ones in storage.

The ingredients are:

    ripe sweet pepper 1 pc.;

    hot pepper to taste (if you, like me, prefer not very hot seasoning, then a couple of large, moderately hot peppers are enough);

    berries 1.5 cups;

    white or brown granulated sugar 3 cups;

    apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar? cups;

    Quittin 1 pack.

Since the pepper is different in size, I’ll clarify that in the crushed state it should be about a cup all together.

While cooking, you can try what you get and adjust the sugar and seasonings, if any. You can cook in the same way, but you will have to slightly change the proportions of sugar and vinegar.

This is not quite normal currant jam "Five minutes". This seasoning is very rich in vitamin C, although it is slightly destroyed by heat treatment. After all, pepper, especially not in technical, but in biological ripeness, that is, fully ripened pods, even surpasses currants in its content. The preparation should not be consumed immediately, but let it stand for 2-3 weeks.


Currant jam five minutes


Since we are talking about not quite ordinary methods of cooking from currants "Five minutes" for the winter, then you can not keep silent about chutney. This dish of Indian cuisine, of course, adapted to our conditions, can be considered jam and sauce at the same time. Sweet and sour currant is perfect for its preparation. Considering the spice of the workpiece, a red or white berry, which does not have its own pronounced aroma, would probably be more appropriate. Let's take

    700 g of berries, already picked from the brushes, washed and thrown back on a sieve;

    half a large or one medium red onion, finely chopped;

    half a glass of grated ginger root;

    a glass of raisins, dark or light;

    half a glass of apple or white wine vinegar;

    half a glass of white granulated sugar;

    a quarter cup of brown sugar or honey;

    large clove of garlic;

    flakes of red hot pepper or it is fresh chopped, to taste or about one and a half teaspoons;

    mustard seeds half a teaspoon;

We put everything in a saucepan, bring it to a boil and cook for 5-7 minutes, put it hot in sterile jars. Chutney goes well with meat, poultry and meat pies. And you can just spread it on bread - also good.

Instead of bread, bread rolls are also suitable.

If your berries are frozen, blanch them lightly over a fire with 1 tablespoon of water, just until they are slightly soft. While heating, add half a vanilla bean to the dishes. Next, cool a little, remove the vanilla and grind the berries and dates in a blender. With a fresh berry, it's even easier: just mix it in a blender with pitted dates and chia seeds.

In principle, the raw mixture is quite suitable for consumption and can be stored in the refrigerator for a week. If you have the opportunity to keep the berry frozen in the refrigerator, you can cook it all at any time. But if you want to keep the blank for the winter, just sterilize the jars with the blank for 10 minutes in boiling water.

That is, immerse the filled jars in a pot of warm water, bring it to a boil and start the countdown. Of course, useful properties will still be partially lost during such processing. You can try to cook in a similar way.


Now let's talk about what kind of animal this chia is. This is a plant from the mint family (its most famous representatives are mint, lemon balm, sage, marjoram, rosemary, thyme and oregano), well known in Latin America, it is also called Spanish sage. It becomes a real bestseller among vegans and healthy food lovers in general.

These seeds contain protein and polyunsaturated fatty acid omega 3 and omega 6, moreover, omega 3 in just two tablespoons of chia seeds is more than in 200g of salmon, and the calcium content is 6 times more than in 200ml of milk. It is enough to eat only a pinch a day to feel cheerful and lose weight at the same time.

The taste of grains is pleasant, nutty. It is not so difficult to buy them in big cities, and if you cannot find them in the distribution network, then online stores will help you. The plant is an annual, so growing it in a garden in the south of our country should not be difficult.
