Jam is usually prepared in summer, when there are a lot of fruits and berries. Usually it acts as a "preparation for the winter", but it can also serve as a simple dessert. It can be prepared at any time of the year from fruits that are sold in stores. For example, from oranges.
It is necessary
- -1 kg of oranges;
- -1 kg (1.5 kg) sugar;
- -2 glasses of water.
Instructions
Step 1
Wash and dry the oranges. Jam can be made from peeled citrus fruits (you will need 1 kg of sugar, do not throw away the zest), as well as from fruits with peels (you will need 1.5 kg of sugar).
Step 2
Make a syrup with water and sugar. Gradually add sugar to boiling water in small doses, stirring the liquid with a spoon.
Step 3
For fruit jam with peels, cut them into slices (first cut off some of the fruit with bracts). They must be seedless, otherwise the jam will taste bitter. Dip the pieces into a sugar solution, cook over low heat for 1, 5-2 hours. Do not allow the jam to boil too much.
Step 4
Divide the peeled fruits into pieces, they should not contain seeds.
Step 5
Pour hot syrup over them, heat over low heat. As soon as the jam boils, remove the container from the heat, cool for at least 60 minutes. Pour the sugar solution into a clean container, boil it separately from the fruit pulp for 10-15 minutes. It should thicken a little, add the solution to the fruit. Do not boil too much.
Step 6
Repeat step 5 two more times.
Step 7
Add a few tablespoons of grated peel to the finished dessert. Pre-scald it with boiling water. You can add a little honey or cinnamon to taste.
