Top 3 Homemade Rowanberry Jam Recipes

Preparing the ingredients

To prepare a red rowan dessert for the winter—a delicious and beneficial remedy for vitamin deficiency, physical exhaustion, anemia, and acute respiratory viral infections, as well as for the cardiovascular system—you need to select high-quality berries. High-quality berries have a bright red, shiny surface, no defects (not pecked by birds) or red spots.

Rowan jam is best made from large, sweet berries picked after the first frost. To remove the bitterness, place the berries in the freezer for 24 hours.

This delicacy typically takes no more than 5 minutes to prepare. The berries are first blanched to soften the peel. This simple yet delicious dessert can be made not only with rowan berries, but also with the addition of oranges, nuts, apples, and other ingredients.

Step-by-step recipes

Gourmets will definitely appreciate the classic recipe for red rowan jam for the winter, as well as its combinations with certain fruits.

Classical

To prepare this homemade dessert, you need to take 1 kg of berries, twice as much sugar, but you can also use 1.5 kg (depending on the sweetness of the fruit), and 300 ml of plain water.

The berries are sorted and washed under running water. Next, they are blanched for no more than 5 minutes, placed in a sieve, and hot syrup is poured over them. To prepare the syrup, sugar is added to a container of water and brought to a boil. Once the berries, left for 6 hours, are soaked in the syrup, the basin or saucepan is placed on the stove. Cook for 3 5-minute periods, with a 15-minute break between each. Now the jam can be packaged in sterile jars, sealed tightly with lids, and left in a blanket for 12 hours.

With oranges and nuts

An exquisite jam can be made from common rowan berries by combining 1 kg of berries with two large oranges and adding a handful of chopped walnuts. You'll also need 1.2 kg of sugar and 1 cup of water.

The berries are separated from their stems, washed and dried, and placed in the freezer for three hours. Then, they are placed in a bowl, water is added, and the mixture is brought to a boil. The liquid is drained, and the berries are transferred to another bowl. Sugar is added to the broth to create a syrup. Bring it to a boil, and the berries are then returned to the boil.

Peel the oranges, cut them into small pieces, add them to the syrup, and simmer with the berries for about 40 minutes. Add the nuts. Simmer for another 10 minutes. The finished treat is poured into jars and sealed with lids.

With apples

The following recipe requires 995 g of rowan berries, the same amount of apples, 1.9 kg of sugar, and 420 ml of water. Important: the berries must be soaked for 24 hours, changing the water frequently. Alternatively, you can boil them in water with a little salt for no more than 3 minutes, then rinse.

Peel each apple, core it, remove the stem, and dice the pulp. Make a syrup from the sugar and water, add the ingredients, and simmer over low heat for about 45 minutes.

That's it, the jam can be placed into jars and sealed with lids that have been boiled for 5 minutes.

Doctors do not recommend rowanberry jam for people with high stomach acidity, blood clotting, gastritis, coronary heart disease, or allergies. Others can enjoy this treat even in winter.

To ensure the dessert retains its healing properties, store the sealed jars in a dark place at a temperature of 14–25°C above zero.

An opened jar can stand in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
