It is necessary
Cranberries, sugar, blender, food processor, crush, cranberry dishes, glass jar
Instructions
Step 1
Take 1 kg of cranberries and 1 kg of sugar for preparation, then in total you will have about 1, 7-1, 8 kg of cranberries, ground with sugar. Wash the berry thoroughly in cold water, sort it out and dry it. Now you need to make mashed potatoes from cranberries in any way convenient for you. Use a hand blender, food processor. You can grind cranberries in a meat grinder. In the absence of kitchen appliances, use a regular crush. Just keep in mind that with such an imperfect processing method, the cranberry seeds remain intact, which is highly undesirable.
Step 2
After chopping the cranberries, cover it with granulated sugar and stir. Let the cranberries sit for a few hours. You can leave the cranberries overnight: during this time, the sugar will completely dissolve. Divide the cranberries into clean jars in the morning. The best way to sterilize cans is by steam.
Step 3
First, put a pot of water on a hot stove, and cover the top with a net rather than a lid. Place the cans upside down on top of the net. In stores, you can see a special pot attachment for sterilizing cans if you do not have a mesh. For the same purpose, you can use a kettle: boil water in the kettle, remove the lid and replace it with a jar. Cover the grated cranberries only with high-quality sealed lids. They should be intact.
Step 4
If you need the cranberries to be sweeter, take 1 kg of berries 1, 5-2 kg of granulated sugar. If you put sugar less than 700 grams per 1 kg of cranberries, there is a risk that the berry will ferment and deteriorate. If you still put in little sugar, be sure to add a preservative to the cranberries: citric acid, alcohol, aspirin, mirin (rice wine). First stir the preservative with a small amount of the berry, and then pour the mixture into the total mass.
Step 5
Berries, grated with sugar, or in another way, five-minute jam - this is very tasty and healthy. Store cranberries only in the refrigerator: in this form, they can stand up to six months. If, after grinding, after a few days, the berry has foamed, but has not fermented, pour it into a saucepan and boil. Then sort hot into sterilized jars.
Step 6
When using cranberries, ground with sugar, mix them with honey. This will help with coughs, sore throats and strengthen the immune system in general. Cranberries are also useful for those with heart and vascular problems. It lowers cholesterol and normalizes blood pressure.
