Everyone probably knows about the benefits of mountain ash, one of the ways to preserve berries for the winter is red rowan jam, recipe the preparation of which there is more than one. Let's talk about them. Everyone is good at this pantry of vitamins and nutrients, one thing is bad - the berries are very bitter. But we want the jam to be not only healthy, but also tasty. Bitterness decreases naturally after freezing, but you can help this process by putting ripe picked berries overnight in freezer... We pick the brought mountain ash from the branches, wash it well, put it in a colander, and then put it on a baking sheet covered with a towel to dry. We put dry berries in trays and send them to freeze. It is enough to leave it in the freezer for a few hours, but if it stays longer, it's okay.
We will cook the red rowan jam without defrosting the berry first. Pour the frozen mountain ash into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and place it on the stove. You can add some water. Let it boil so that it becomes soft, and rub through a sieve. TO berry puree add sugar at the rate of 800g per liter of puree, heat, stirring, so that the sugar dissolves well.

Enough 10-15 minutes of cooking, and you can decompose our workpiece in pre-sterilized jars, roll up the lids, cool upside down and put away for storage. Such a blank is obtained in the form of a jam. If you don't feel like messing around with rubbing the berries through a sieve, you can cook in the usual way.
In this case, we will first prepare the syrup at the rate of 1.5-2 cups of water per 1 kg of sugar. Pour sugar with water and heat until it dissolves completely. Dip frozen mountain ash into the syrup, mix and leave for several hours. After that, reheat the syrup with the berries and cook until tender, that is, until the berries are at the top, but are evenly distributed in the syrup. Delicious and healthy.
There are options for repeatedly heating and cooling the syrup, in this case the jam will look more beautiful, but still decide for yourself what is more important to you in red rowan jam: benefits or beautiful appearance. Of course, any mountain ash jam will be useful, but still, with repeated heating and cooling, more nutrients will be lost.
Delicious jam from red rowan it turns out if you cook it in a mixture with apples. For 1 kg of mountain ash, you can take 0.5-1 kg of apples, better dense and sour. The apples need to be cored and cut into slices. If you want, you can peel off a thin layer of the skin and cut the apples into cubes. We prepare syrup based on 1 kg of a mixture of rowan and apples, take 0.5 kg of sugar and a glass of water.
Pour apples with hot syrup, pour frozen mountain ash into the same place, bring to a boil and remove from heat. Let it stand for a few hours. Then we drain the syrup, add another 0.5 kg of sugar to it, wait for it to boil and fill in the rowan-apple mixture. You can bring to a boil again, let stand and only then cook, or you can immediately cook until cooked. Add a cinnamon stick to the jam if desired, then remove it. Here you will find best recipes.
Finished workpiece pour into hot sterilized jars and seal. Another option is rowan jam with oranges. For 1 kg of mountain ash, 1 orange is enough. With a sharp knife, you need to remove a thin upper layer zest. Peel the slices from the film and divide into 3-4 parts. Pour frozen mountain ash with 1 glass of water and heat to a boil.
Drain and boil the syrup at the rate of 1-1.2 kg of sugar per 1 kg of berries. Pour the syrup over the berries. Place the orange slices and the zest, minced with a blender or meat grinder. Cook until evenly distributed in the syrup. This blank has a beautiful color and very pleasant aroma... Delicious jam can be cooked from mountain ash with pumpkin. For this, the pumpkin is cut into small cubes. The rest of the recipe is the same as for rowan with apples.
More useful raw red rowan jam... Let's take for its preparation 1.2-1.3 kg of sugar per kilogram of frozen berries. Pass the rowan through a meat grinder or grind with a blender, mix with sugar. Stir thoroughly so that the sugar dissolves as much as possible. We put the finished mixture in sterilized jars, cover with boiled plastic lids and put it in a cool place. Another, more delicious and useful option such jam: for 1kg of rowan berries, take 2-3 cups of walnut kernels, pass everything through a meat grinder and mix with two cups of honey. You need to store such jam in a cool place.

We prepare the raw material as usual: we separate it from the branches, sort it out, wash it, freeze it.

For syrup, take 1kg of sugar and a glass of water, stir and bring to a boil. We boil the berries in it for several minutes, and lay out the hot jam in sterilized jars, roll them up with boiled lids.
