Jam from Kalina Ingredients
  • 1kg kalina
  • 1 kg of sugar


Preparation
  1. Wash the kalina directly on your hands to avoid losing juice. You can lower bunches of kalina in boiling water for 15 seconds. This will make the kalina softer, help to separate the berries from the peduncles easier, remove the bitterness and allow you to get more juice.

If there is no juicer, you can rub the potassium through a sieve and strain through gauze. Interestingly, the resulting cake also finds a useful use. Careful housewives freeze it in bags, and in winter add to compotes.


  4. Place the resulting juice in the pan and add sugar to it. In order for the sugar to dissolve completely, it must be warmed up a little, stirring constantly. The main thing is not to boil the berries and not to heat too much. Otherwise, you will lose most of your vitamins.
