Saskatoon jam for the winter

Irga is a very unpretentious berry. It tastes sweet and lean, but is very healthy, as it contains a lot of substances necessary for the human body. To make shadberry jam richer, juicier berries are added to the delicacy.

Five-minute jam from serviceberry for the winter

Irga is useful for the human body. It contains many essential vitamins and substances, fiber, and pectin. If the berries are not subjected to long-term processing, most of these components will remain in the jam until winter.

1. 
   To make shadberry jam richer and more delicious for the winter, choose only ripe berries. We sort through the irgu: remove branches and leaves, get rid of spoiled berries.
2. 
   Pour the berries into a colander and rinse with cool water. Then we leave the colander with the irga in the sink or place it on top of a deep bowl to drain off the excess liquid.
3. 
   Pour water into the pan. Place the container on the stove, turn on the equipment and bring the liquid to a boil. Place the colander with the irga in a pan of boiling water for a couple of minutes. Then we take out the berries and let them dry.
4. 
   Pour the berries into a large container (for example, a basin). Cover the irgu with sugar and leave for a while. The berry will release juice, which will mix with sugar. The result will be berry syrup.
5. 
   Turn on the stove and set the desired temperature. Place a bowl of irga and syrup on the fire. When the syrup begins to boil, a white foam will appear, which must be skimmed off with a spoon. After boiling, cook the berry syrup for 5 minutes.
6. 
   The jam jar and lid must be sterilized in the oven in advance. Pour hot jam into the prepared container and cover with a lid. Roll up and turn the jar upside down. Wrap it up and let it cool.
