Rosehip is rich in vitamin C, so compotes and jam from it are extremely useful. To cook rosehip jam, you need to choose large, fleshy berries. They are easier to remove from seeds.
It is necessary
-
- peeled rose hips - 1 kg.;
- water - 3 glasses;
- sugar - 1 kg.
- For rosehip jam with lemon juice:
- rosehip 1 kg.;
- water - 2 glasses;
- sugar - 1, 2 kg.;
- lemon juice - 100 ml.
Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the rose hips, peel off stalks and hairs. Cut the berries in half and remove the seeds. Boil water and immerse the peeled rose hips in it for 2 minutes. Throw the berries on a sieve, prepare sugar syrup from the water remaining from the blanching. Put the berries in it and cook until they sink to the bottom. Drain the syrup, place the berries in clean, dry jars. Boil the syrup for 20-30 minutes. Check the readiness of the syrup by dropping it on a saucer. If the drop does not spread, pour the prepared syrup over the berries. After cooling, close the jars and refrigerate.
Step 2
To make rosehip jam with lemon juice, rinse and peel the fruits, then scald them with boiling water. Prepare and cool the sugar syrup. Put the rose hips in hot syrup, boil them for 5 minutes and leave for a day. Drain the syrup, boil it for 15 minutes and pour it into the rosehip again for a day. Drain the syrup again, add the lemon juice and cook for 3 minutes, add the fruits to the mixture and bring to a boil. Cool slightly, pour into jars while warm.
Step 3
In Bulgaria, they make jam from rosehip petals. For such a delicacy, petals of terry rose hips are needed, collected during the morning dew. Rinse them with water and spread them out on clean paper. When the water is dry, stack them in layers in a clean jar, sprinkling sugar over each layer. When stacking, tamp the petals with a spoon. Close the jar with a plastic lid and place in a warm place. The petals will give juice and settle to the bottom of the jar, and syrup will form on top. After that, the jar of rose petal jam must be put in the refrigerator. Such jam is useful for beginning sore throat. The essential oils contained in this syrup have disinfectant properties.
