In winter, the body really lacks vitamins and that is why people often sick, because immunity on zero. It is for this reason that it is necessary to store useful products and dishes that will help support the immune system at the proper level. Let's talk today about how to make currants with sugar for the winter and that it is necessary to use.
Usefulness of currant
For those who do not know, for the winter you can prepare a wipe currant with sugar and it will not be necessary to process it with a thermal method. Immediately, I would like to note that in this case, the currants in the mandatory strand should be kept in some cold place - the basement, cellar or refrigerator.
You can canning this berry in different ways:
- Rub it
- Fully
- Skip through a meat grinder
You should not forget that you can canning both black and red currants (some do such operations and white currant).
Ingredients and tools
Preparatory work before preparation must be made in this way:
- First of all, if you decide to cook jam or jam from any berries and at the same time, are not going to handle them with a thermal method, for these purposes, one-piece berries will be suitable and ridiculed (no damage to the surface of the currant in this case should not be ).
- For such a preservation, it is best to use 0.5l glass cans. You should not take too large banks for such purposes, because in their cheese jams are stored worse than in small ones.
- Banks before the "salting" must be carefully flushed. Most often, this is made by detergent, but the optimal version in this case use the soda. It flips well and harmful substances on the walls of cans leaves.
- Do not forget that the banks should be addressed to be boiling water, like lids on them. You can use both plastic and iron covers, only the second, you will have to boil well.
Some clever, even the covers are not used, and on cans with cold jam simply put on parchment paper and tie with twine. It should be immediately noted that the gums that are commonly used for posters. Money, etc. In this case, they are not suitable, because after some time they will simply crumble, which means that the jam will be in contact with oxygen, which is immediately shortening its shelf life.
Simple recipe for cooking currant with sugar
Let's consider in detail how to properly close the currants with sugar for the winter and that we need it for this. The composition of the ingredients is very simple, there are only two of them, namely the currant, which we need 1.5-2 kilograms and sugar, we will need 1 kilogram.
We will proceed to the correct preparation of such a winter workpiece:
- To begin with, I would like to say that berries must be integer, ripe without rot and other defects.
- Berries in a mandatory strand need to be very well to wash, after which they leave them in the colander for a while so that all the extra moisture with the glass.
- While the berries run, you need to prepare the container in which you are selected to place sugar currant.
- Now everyone just needs dried berries to float the above sugar (some use sugar sand for these purposes, there is no special difference here, therefore, you independently need to decide that it will be a large fractional sugar or sand).
- Two ingredients are mixed, and it is worth it to do it carefully, after which we decorate the covered berries on banks. Do not forget that stacking such a yagoda in sugar is very tight, so that there is no waste in this jam.
- When "jam" is already decomposed on banks, you need to fall asleep each of them with a small layer of sugar (a layer must be a centimeter height).
- "Seal" for the winter can also be used in several ways and most often use plastic lids. They must be quickened, dry. After that, cover the cans with sugar berries. If this option is not suitable for you, then you just take the parchment paper and the rope, and cover the jar on the spiral of this rope, pre-climb her neck parchment paper.
- Storage must be mandatory in some cool, and even one can say, a cold place and it is desirable that there was dark, so that the basement or cellar is suitable for these purposes, as it is impossible.
- Do not worry that jam when you close it remains crumbly, because over time it will quickly release juice and already acquire the necessary consistency.
It should also be noted that this recipe will be considered ideal if you will take a black currant for its preparation.
Jam from currant
In order to prepare a jam from such a berry, you will need:
- Sugar - 2 kg
- Curranta -1 kg
Preparation is as follows:
- First you need to crush the currants well (here it is for you to help the pusher or a meat grinder, at your discretion).
- In the puree from the berries, add sugar and mix well all, after which we mix everything very well, so that it turns out a homogeneous mass.
- Now it's time to spread the finished jam on banks, pre-falling asleep on top of the jam by a centimeter sugar layer.
Close up of jars with jam and keep them needed by the same technology as simply sugar currant, so no need to invent anything new.
