Combining business with pleasure - what could be better! Especially when it comes to something tasty. Fortunately, there are many nutritious and simply delicious foods that can provide tangible benefits to the human body. These are mainly delicacies made from natural ingredients with minimal or no heat treatment. All kinds of salads from fresh vegetables with light dressing, grilled or baked in your own juice, lean meat and fish, natural juices and fruit drinks. Such food forms the basis of a healthy diet, gives strength, improves mood and vitality.

And most importantly, you don't need delicacies to stick to such a diet. It is enough to follow the rule: the higher the quality of the initial ingredients and the diligent preparation of them, the more benefit the finished meal will bring. Of course, these principles are much easier to follow in the summer, when there is a lot of fresh food in the shops, in the markets, and for many, just in the garden under the window. But even in the cold season, it is not only possible, but also very necessary not to deny yourself products to increase immunity. And if viburnum, raspberries and other common medicinal plants accompany us all winter, then sea buckthorn is eaten much less often. And in vain, because this bright orange berry literally "accumulates" the heat of the sun and the benefits of summer vitamins.

About the benefits of sea buckthorn
An unpretentious plant with many small berries was appreciated by the inhabitants of Ancient Greece. And Siberians even compare it to pineapple. For everyone else, it is enough to know that sea buckthorn will give odds to all citrus fruits in terms of the content of vitamin C and enzymes that prevent its destruction when heated. Its antioxidant properties are provided by vitamins A, E and B contained in sea buckthorn. In a smaller, but also useful amount, sea buckthorn contains vitamins of group K; folic, oleic, linoleic and some other organic acids; unsaturated fats, tannins and complex sugars. All of these components are directly involved in the metabolism that affects our health and mood. Flavonoids also strengthen the walls of blood vessels. And, finally, almost the main "advantage" of sea buckthorn is provitamin A, or beta-carotene. A powerful immunostimulant, it helps cells resist the action of free radicals and reduces the likelihood of tumor growth.

People get all this invaluable benefit from sea buckthorn in the form of oil, juice, decoctions, infusions, jam, compote and just frozen berries. Thanks to their pleasant, slightly tart, aroma and sweet and sour taste, they have taken their place not only in medicine, but also in cooking. Agree that it is much more pleasant to strengthen health with the help of such an appetizing medicine than to swallow tasteless pills and potions. Sea buckthorn sweets will successfully replace raspberry jam during colds, reduce pain from gastrointestinal diseases and relieve internal inflammation. You can cook them at home, but you will have to tinker with the preparation of the berries, which are tightly stuck to the thorny twigs. True, the same sea buckthorn oil will help to heal sore fingers after this procedure.

Sea buckthorn recipes
Like any delicious berry, sea buckthorn features in many culinary recipes. Fresh, it tastes only to gourmet lovers, so sugar or other sweeteners are most often added to it. By and large, sea buckthorn does not need anything more - its own taste is so rich. We offer you several recipes, which mainly include only sea buckthorn and sugar.

1. Whole sea buckthorn with sugar. The most common method of harvesting berries for the winter. The berries themselves are carefully sorted out, leaving only whole and strong, washed, scalded with boiling water and wiped dry. Then they are laid out in jars, abundantly sprinkled with sugar (for 1 kg of sea buckthorn, take a pound of granulated sugar). After six hours, jars with berries inside are pasteurized at a temperature of 85 ° C and tightly closed or rolled up.
   
2. Sea buckthorn rubbed with sugar. More laborious, in comparison with the previous recipe, the process. Clean and dry berries are crushed by passing through cheesecloth or a fine sieve. The resulting gruel is mixed with sugar in a 1: 2 ratio, placed in jars and stored under lids in the refrigerator. This preparation has all the useful qualities of sea buckthorn and, as it were, "preserves" itself with natural antioxidants. This puree does not spoil until spring and, among other things, has a miraculous ability to relieve hangovers.
   
3. Sea buckthorn jelly. Another treat, useful unlike store-bought confectionery. You will need sea buckthorn juice, that is, whole berries need to be passed through a juicer. Then heat the juice in a saucepan. When the temperature reaches about 70 ° C, add sugar (850 g for each liter of juice) and bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. In the process of boiling, the liquid will slightly boil down and thicken. Pour it into sterile jars, cover it from foreign debris and leave to cool at room temperature. Jars with cooled jelly are closed with synthetic or paper "lids".
   
4. Sea buckthorn jam with sugar. Traditional autumn harvesting from 1 kg of berries, 1 l of water and 1.5 kg of sugar (or another amount of these ingredients, observing the ratio of their volumes). Make a syrup by dissolving sugar in hot water. While still hot, pour the syrup over the sea buckthorn and leave for four hours. After that, remove the fruits, and bring the sweet liquid to a boil, then return the sea buckthorn to it and bring it to readiness over low heat, stirring regularly. Turn off the heat, wait until the jam has cooled completely, and only then put in sterile jars and close.
   

Sea buckthorn cooked with sugar is perfectly stored in the refrigerator and retains vitamins, sugars, trace elements and pigments. Over time, preservation can stratify into translucent syrup (which will sink to the bottom of the jar) and the berries themselves (they will float up). Crystallized sugar will appear on top of the berries. This will not affect either the taste or the properties of the jam. You can stir it again or use the stringy syrup and caramelized flesh separately.

Consider how to preserve sea buckthorn for the winter and their vitamin value. This can be done in several ways:

Sea buckthorn harvesting rules

Recipes for winter preparations will help to preserve the beneficial properties of sea buckthorn. But no matter what you are going to do, some nuances should be observed:

1. Only whole, bright orange berries that do not have any damage are allowed for processing.
2. The fruits must be firm. It is undesirable to use overripe ones: they contain much less nutrients. And besides, instead of berries in the cooking process, you will get a shapeless mass.
3. Sea buckthorn ripens only by the end of August, so you need to buy it with the onset of autumn. If you are offered a berry before, be sure that chemicals were used.

Golden recipes for sea buckthorn blanks for the winter

And now we will consider the most popular and simple options for harvesting sea buckthorn fruits.

Freezing

Sea buckthorn, as a rule, immediately after being harvested, is allowed to be processed, making jam, compotes, fruit drink, oil from it. But sometimes it is frozen to feast on fresh vitamins in winter. This is the simplest recipe for making sea buckthorn for the winter.

The procedure is done immediately after harvest:

To freeze the berries faster, set the temperature in the freezer to the lowest temperature.

It is best to freeze the berries at -22 degrees. At higher temperatures, the skin may crack on the fruit, resulting in a shapeless mass.

Drying in three ways

How to prepare sea buckthorn for the winter using drying? We offer three ways, just not whole berries, but cake.

Option 1

The collected fruits are dried until the moisture has completely evaporated. Next, the berries are distributed on baking sheets in an even thin layer. And sent to the shade to wither.

Drying is carried out only in the shade, since the sun's rays destroy the useful carotene in them.

When the berries have dried up enough, they are sent to the oven or drying cabinet, where the final drying of the berries takes place. The drying temperature should not rise above 50 degrees. During work, it is now necessary to control the dryness so that the berry does not burn and dry out.

Second option 2

The harvested crop is sorted out, bad berries, twigs, leaves are removed, and then thoroughly washed in cold water. The first stage of drying is the removal of surface moisture remaining after rinsing. The second stage is drying on baking sheets in one layer for 5-6 at a temperature of 50-60 ° C.

These two options are only suitable if you have few berries. In case of a large harvest, it will be better to dry the cake first.

Option 3

Another option for drying sea buckthorn with maximum benefit is drying the cake. In this way, you kill two birds with one stone: prepare juice or jam from the squeezed liquid, and then use the dried cake to prepare fruit drinks, butter, aromatic tea, jelly, wine, tinctures, and put it in pies.

Dried cake or berries are first soaked in boiling water, and then used as directed.

To work, you need a colander, juicer, metal sieve, spoon, gauze and dryer:

The finished dried cake is transferred to a dry container with a tight-fitting lid.

Sea buckthorn jam in minutes

No time to mess with sea buckthorn? Now we will tell you how to prepare sea buckthorn for the winter quickly and easily. To do this, you need 1 kg of sun berries, 0.8 liters of water and 1.5 kg of granulated sugar. This option is considered the most useful and delicious. The fact is that during the cooking process, useful substances that are important for the body are preserved to the maximum in the berries, especially in autumn and winter:

Still hot jam is poured into pre-sterilized jars, turned upside down and wrapped in a blanket.

Sea buckthorn compote

What else can you cook from sea buckthorn for the winter? Compote! It is also rich in nutrients and vitamins. In addition, it will help to increase immunity in the winter.

To prepare compote, it is advisable to collect the fruits slightly unripe so that they do not burst during cooking.

To implement the sea buckthorn recipe for the winter, 1 kg of berries is required. For this amount, take the same amount of sugar and 1.3 liters of water.

1. The berries are thoroughly washed, the stalks are separated, dried on a towel and laid out in sterilized jars.
2. Syrup is boiled from water and sugar and berries are poured over it.
3. Each jar is sterilized. To do this, use a large saucepan or a deep metal basin of boiling water. Take one jar of jam, dip it in boiling water, and leave it for a while. For a half-liter jar, the sterilization time is 12 minutes, and for a liter jar - 17.
4. The banks are closed and sent to the pantry.

Sea buckthorn jam without cooking

It turns out that you can cook sea buckthorn for the winter even without cooking. This is done in a simple way. True, you have to use a juicer. If not, a blender and a meat grinder will do. The sea buckthorn mass obtained by this method is simply ideal for making fillings for casseroles, cakes, cutlets, fruit drinks, compotes, or you can just serve it for tea in a bowl and eat with spoons.

Only two ingredients are required: sea buckthorn berries in (1 kg) and 0.8 kg of granulated sugar. Then follow this scheme:

Having passed the berries through a juicer press, the cake should be ground again. This will draw out the maximum pulp from the fruit.

Over time, the jam stratifies to form three layers: a light yellow jelly, an orange pulp, and a clear syrup. It is advisable to stir the contents of the jar when using.

Sea buckthorn is a storehouse of usefulness. They enjoy it not only in autumn, but also in winter. Using our advice, you can keep the berries fresh for a long time. Treat yourself to a spoonful of the bright sun!

Sea buckthorn mashed with sugar: a recipe at home

The recipe is quite simple - sea buckthorn is ground with sugar, packaged in cans and sent to the refrigerator. Also, this blank can be saved in the freezer compartment by placing the mixture in a plastic container, while the storage time will significantly increase.

The only drawback of such a blank is the presence of small bones that sea buckthorn contains. If you plan to add the grated berry to tea in the future or create fruit drinks from it, then the seeds will not be a hindrance. But for baking or making desserts, the sea buckthorn mixture should first be passed through a fine sieve, and then mixed with sugar.

It is not difficult to make such a dessert, grated sea buckthorn can be prepared without boiling, the main thing is to follow the instructions clearly.

Ingredient List

• 500 grams of sea buckthorn;
• 500 grams of sugar.

How to cook sea buckthorn rubbed with sugar

First of all, carefully examine and sort the berry. Sorting sea buckthorn consists in sifting out fruits with dark spots and rotten participants. Rinse the selected sea buckthorn several times under running water, then dry in a colander or on a terry towel.

Place the berries in the blender container.

Then kill the sea buckthorn at high speed in several approaches.

Next, throw 400 grams of granulated sugar into the puréed mass. Kill the sea buckthorn with sugar again with a blender, dissolving the sugar grains in the berry mass as much as possible.

Cover the mixture with a lid, avoiding contact with insects, set aside for 4-5 hours, even overnight.

Despite the fact that sea buckthorn rubbed with sugar will be stored in the refrigerator, it is still better to subject containers and lids to slight sterilization, this will increase the shelf life of the workpiece.

Dispense the settled mixture into cans, leaving about 2 centimeters of empty space on top.

Next, pour the remaining portion of sugar onto the berry puree. In just 2 minutes, this sugar will absorb the sea buckthorn juice and form the so-called "sugar cork", which will close the mixture, protecting it from external factors.

Immediately seal the jars with the contents with screw caps and send them to the refrigerator shelf. Such a blank is stored for about 3-4 months.
