Blueberry marmalade - a simple recipe for blueberry marmalade at home
Blueberries combine a lot of useful properties and at the same time have a very pleasant taste. There is no need to force her to eat, the only question is how to preserve blueberries for the winter so that you can have this tasty medicine on hand all winter.
Blueberry marmalade is very bright, with a rich taste and color. It is pleasant to look at and eat.
You can make marmalade from fresh blueberries or from frozen ones, there is no difference. The taste and quality of the finished product will not suffer from this and the preparation technology is absolutely the same. Well, except that you don’t need to wash frozen berries before cooking, nor do you need to defrost them first. After all, when they melt, they will begin to release juice, and this is exactly what we need to make the marmalade more tender and soft.
For 1 kg of blueberries:
- 750 g sugar;
- 60 g gelatin.
Wash the blueberries and place them in a saucepan. Add a glass of sugar and mix it well with a spoon so that the berries release juice.
Place the pan on the lowest heat possible. It is better to use a cutter to prevent the sugar from burning. Cook the blueberries until they are completely softened and look like jam.
Grind the blueberries through a sieve.
Pour the puree back into the pan and add the remaining sugar.
Separately, dilute the gelatin in water as directed on the package. Pour the prepared gelatin into the pan with the blueberry puree and bring to a boil. As soon as it starts bubbling, remove the pan from the heat.
For long-term storage for the winter, blueberry marmalade should be rolled into jars, like jam or preserves.
If you need marmalade now, pour it into molds and refrigerate for 4 hours.
If there are no molds, you can pour the marmalade into a flat bowl or tray, first covering it with cling film.
Then you can cut out figures from it, or simply cut into cubes with a knife.
Roll each piece in sugar and eat to your health.
