What ingredients are required to make cherry jam
First of all, prepare the dishes. It is necessary to cook in an enamel or brass container. No other pots or pans will work, as some of the jam will burn to the bottom.
The capacity of basins and pans for jam depends on how many kilograms or liters of jam the hostess expects. Experienced chefs indicate the following sizes:
- minimum - 3 liters;
- maximum - 7 liters.
Attention! Dessert is prepared in two to three liters several times. Because too many berries in one serving will flatten them.
It is not recommended to cook in a hurry. Otherwise, the berries will only wrinkle and will not saturate the syrup with their taste. Therefore, the dessert is made for a little over a day, letting it brew first for several hours, and then for almost a day.
Remove foam thoroughly during cooking. The foam formed and rolled up in cans can harm the jam during storage in the basement. These cans can explode or spoil the dessert.
