How to make jemaline jam

Ezhemalina jam is a fragrant dessert that will be appreciated by all lovers of garden berries. It is perfect as a topping for pancakes, porridge or ice cream, and homemade confectioners may well use it as a filling for cakes, muffins and muffins.

Features of making jam from jemalina

Ezhemalina is an unpretentious, yet productive hybrid that prefers an arid climate. The shrub fruits are larger than traditional raspberries and blackberries and have a rich, slightly sour taste. The color ranges from pink to deep purple. The harvest, depending on the variety, can ripen from mid-June to late autumn, when most of the berry crops have already departed.

Before making jam, jams or marmalade from jemalina, it is necessary to take into account a number of features of this berry. Despite the fact that one of the "parents" of the culture is raspberries, the fruits of the hybrid itself are not juicy enough, so water must be added regularly during cooking.

You can achieve a thicker jam without increasing cooking time by adding gelling ingredients or adding extra sugar. In the latter case, ezhemalina jam will lose its piquant sour taste.

Ezhemalina contains many useful trace elements

You can replace gelling additives (agar-agar, gelatin) in jam with products containing a large amount of natural pectin: apples, gooseberries, red currants.

Selection and preparation of berries

For jam, fruits of the same degree of ripeness are harvested from ezhemalina. When it comes to preparing a treat from whole berries, then pay attention to the size. For jam, jam and marmalade, you can use slightly overripe fruits. In this case, it is better not to rinse them, otherwise they will quickly lose their aesthetic appearance.

Before you start preparing the jam, the ezemalina is carefully sorted out, if necessary, sorted. During this process, the stalks and small twigs (if any) are removed from the berries, rotten or unripe specimens are removed.

Sterilization of cans

Jam from jemalina is most often rolled up in ordinary glass jars of different sizes. The most demanded containers are 300 and 500 ml. Small, beautifully designed jars with fragrant jams from jemalina can even be presented as a gift.

Before use, glass containers are well washed with laundry soap, soda or mustard powder. Rinse thoroughly.

You can sterilize containers in a variety of ways:

• in a saucepan with hot water;
• in the oven;
• in the microwave.

Most often, dishes are sterilized in the microwave or in a saucepan, on which a special sterilizer stand is previously installed.

After processing, the jars are dried on a clean towel (neck down) and only after that they are used for setting the jam. Boil the lids separately in a saucepan for at least 10 minutes.
