What are we used to seeing walnuts? A strong shell, inside of which there are delicious kernels that we eat just like that or add to soups, pastries, sauces, tinctures, salads, main courses ... 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.

History of an unusual recipe

Do not be afraid of our courage and determination: you can really make jam from walnuts. But only not from those that have already ripened, but from quite young ones, the so-called milky maturity. These green fruits are still unsuitable for fresh food: they are bitter and taste completely different from those nucleoli that we compared in childhood with brains for their appearance.

These very fruits will be needed for tasty, fragrant and healthy jam. They need to be collected, depending on the region, from the end of May to 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 right level of ripeness, pierce the fruit with a toothpick. If it easily passes through and just as easy to get - feel free to collect nuts. You can check each of them in this way, because later you still have to prick them.

This is what milky ripe walnuts look like, which are suitable for jam

Jam from unripe walnuts has been known since ancient times in the Middle and Near 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, and 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 milky walnuts are very soft compared to fully matured walnuts, they still need additional processing before cooking. The nut juice is very bitter due to its high iodine content, so it must be removed by long soaking.

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

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

Don't be afraid to use lime: it's just harmless calcium oxide, not an evil poison that will poison your jam.

Let's finish the digression into the basics of chemistry and return to our jam. Nuts for it are soaked in a lime solution from 5 days to 2-3 weeks, until soft. Strongly darkened during this time, they are repeatedly pricked or cut in half, after which they are 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 utensils for soaking nuts be made of stainless steel: it is contraindicated for aluminum to contact water and iodine contained in nuts for so long, and you may not wash an enameled pan or bowl from persistent nut juice. For the same reason, you need to clean the nuts with gloves, so as not to walk around with black hands for a week later.

Peel walnuts only with gloves: walnut juice is strongly 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), phytoncides, tannins, and vegetable fats. All of them are preserved 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;
• diseases of the kidneys and bladder;
• angina;
• furunculosis;
• stomatitis;
• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

• nervous overload;
• hard mental work;
• sleep problems;
• pressure surges;
• pregnancy (since the jam contains the required amount of iodine);
• the rapid growth of children.

Recipes

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

Classical

You have probably tried prunes, and maybe you like to use them for various dishes. So, walnut jam, prepared according to the classic recipe, is very reminiscent of good dried plums, both in taste and in appearance.

Walnut jam looks like prunes

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

• 4 kg of green nuts;
• 2 liters of water;
• 2.5 kg of granulated sugar;
• 10 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 mass, you will have to adjust the amount of other ingredients.

1. Rinse the nuts and put in a deep bowl or basin. Fill with water completely, to the top. At least every 6 hours, the water must be changed, and so - for 6-7 days. If you doubt that the nuts are already a little closer to ripening, keep them in 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: it is the peel of the nuts that gives off excess juice.

   

   Pour the washed unripe nuts with cold water and soak for a long time

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

   

   Prepare a solution of slaked lime

3. Pour the settled clear solution without sediment into a bowl with soaked nuts. Leave for 24 hours. The fact that the surface of the nuts will darken or become stained is a natural reaction, and not at all a reason to get scared and throw away the product!

   

   Soak nuts in lime mortar for a day

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

How to help your thyroid

Remedies based on immature walnuts can treat some thyroid diseases, such as hypothyroidism or goiter (an enlarged thyroid gland).

An effective treatment for this disease is the use of unripe walnut juice: 1 tsp. 3 times a day before meals for 1 month.

Therefore, the use of milk walnuts is an effective remedy in the treatment of this disease. With goiter, it is recommended to use honey tincture, the recipe of which is presented above. You need to take 1 tsp. before meals three times a day. Course - no more than 1 month.

Walnut jam is a fairly popular product in places where the tree itself grows. It is valued among many gourmets and is widely popular due to its characteristic taste and beneficial properties. To enjoy the dessert, it is not necessary to purchase such jam in the store, it can be prepared at home if you have all the necessary ingredients on hand.

Green walnut jam: recipe

First of all, it should be noted that only young nuts are used for making jam, which are still green and have reached only milky maturity. They are soft shelled. 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 to soak for about two days. Before that, they are cleaned of green crust.

Remember to wear gloves while cutting green nuts. Due to the high concentration of iodine in their composition, the skin of the fingers will turn dark very quickly.

Throughout the soaking, the water should be changed regularly - at least three times a day. Then the water must be drained, and the nuts poured with lime mortar. To prepare it, use cold water and slaked lime. Leave the nuts in the resulting solution for at least four hours. Then strain them so that the bitter taste of the feedstock can be eliminated. At the final stage, rinse the nuts thoroughly under running water.

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

Consider the ratio of proportions in more detail:

• 40 pcs. unripe nuts;
• 3 cups of sugar;
• 1.75 liters of water for soaking and one glass already for making syrup;
• 1 tsp citric acid - added if desired to 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 acquire a pleasant 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 sheen. Do not forget to throw a bag of ground spices into the water during cooking. This will give the jam a more pleasant flavor. Then it should be poured into jars while still hot.

If you want green walnut jam to get an unusual taste, you can deviate a little from the classic recipe. So, some say that jam gets a pleasant aftertaste if you add vanillin 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. These materials, when exposed to heat, 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. To do this, use water with the addition of baking soda. Then scald the containers with boiling water and dry thoroughly.
