How to choose berries for jam?
To prepare the delicacy, use the Nezhinsky and Nevezhinsky varieties. In Russia, it is customary to pick berries in the fall after the holiday in honor of Peter and Paul. After all, usually by this time the first frosts will have passed, which means that the rowan will lose its bitterness. But if this phenomenon did not occur in nature, then the berries are placed in the freezer for a couple of days.
After these manipulations, the fruits are sorted, removing soft, small, blackened, and spoiled ones. Then they are washed and laid out to dry on a clean cloth.
Rules for preparing containers
A basin or large saucepan is better suited for cooking the dessert, since the berry mass will increase in volume during the boiling process. From a small container, the jam will “run away” onto the stove. It is convenient to pour jam into half-liter or liter glass jars.
