How to make barberry jam.

Barberry berries

We sort out the red ripe barberry fruits, wash them, and let the water drain.

Add sugar and let it brew for at least a day.

During this time, the berries should release juice, which we drain and prepare syrup based on it.

Pour hot syrup over the barberry fruits and leave for 3-4 hours.

For further cooking, we put our jam preparation to cook first over high heat, covering it with a lid.

After waiting for it to boil, reduce the heat to low and remove any foam that appears.

Stir the jam lightly so as not to damage the berries and cook until tender, covering with a lid. The jam is considered ready if the berries have settled to the bottom and the syrup has become transparent.

In 10 min.Until the end of cooking the jam, add the remaining 400 g of sugar. Some housewives add a little vanilla or tangerine zest, but the jam will be fragrant without these components.

Then remove the jam from the stove and let it cool.

Pack the finished barberry jam into clean jars and close with plastic lids. It keeps well at room temperature.

In addition to its medicinal properties, this barberry jam goes well with meat steaks and cheese.
