Jam, jams and compotes made from raspberries, blueberries and strawberries are perhaps the most delicious and healthy delicacies that many housewives prepare during the ripening season of these fruits. So that the dishes are not too sugary, and in addition to everything they can be stored for a long time and at the same time not spoil, it is necessary to strictly observe the proportions of sugar and berries. You can find out the approximate weight of the fruits without weights.
To cook delicious jam, jam or compote, adherence to the recipe is necessary. Precise aging of the ingredients and the duration of cooking will have a positive effect on the taste of the finished product, and the storage time (with mandatory sterilization of cans) will increase significantly. Not every housewife in the kitchen has a scale with which it would be possible to measure the weight of products, but this does not prevent them from delighting their loved ones with delicious dishes, and especially the desserts described above. The thing is that in every house there is a one-liter jar, which is an indispensable assistant in measuring the "weight of berries".
For example, a liter of blueberries harvested in dry weather weighs, on average, 750-800 grams. If blueberries are small, then the weight can reach 850 grams, while large berries weigh no more than 700 grams. As for strawberries, its weight directly depends on the size of the berries. If the berries are small and their size is slightly larger than cherries, then one liter jar can weigh 600-650 grams, a liter of larger berries weighs, on average, no more than 550 grams. The weight of a liter of raspberries can fluctuate depending on the ripeness of the berries, because ripe berries are more juicy and softer, when they enter the jar, they crumple more, as a result, more fruits are placed in the jar. As for the exact numbers, a liter of raspberries weighs from 550 to 650 grams.
It is worth noting that if you want to cook a little blueberry, strawberry or raspberry jam, while you only have a liter of berries, then for making strawberry jam, take from 500 to 600 grams of sugar (2/3 liter can), blueberry - from 600 to 1200 grams, depending on your taste preferences (from 1/2 to a whole can), raspberry - 500-700 grams (slightly more than half a liter can).
