Reviews

Girls, I tried blueberries in different ways. Jam - delicious, dried, just loved to chew, and my mother baked pies from it. Frozen did not like. Favorite recipe is this:

In a dry sterile jar (s), pour blueberries and, without adding anything, set to sterilize. Bilberry gives juice and settles, add jars until juice appears at the neck of the jar. We sterilize for another 10 minutes and roll the lid. It turns blueberries in their own juice! In winter, open a jar, with berries, bake pies (obtained as if from fresh), and juice to the kids. Tasty and healthy! I take jars of 0.5 or 1 liter.

We have been freezing berries for 3-4 years already. I make a trace for the baby.way: I chop the berry with a blender and add sugar (1 kg of sugar per 10 liter bucket of berries), fill the container with lids (200 ml) and freeze. In winter, we steal compotes or defrost and give mashed berries. The kid bursts on both cheeks.

Make in a steam bath without sugar. Like stewed blueberries. Put a towel in the pan and pour water, put the cans with blueberries, cover the cans with a lid, put on a slow fire, wait until the “water” appears in the cans, i.e. blueberry leaves the juice, the contents of the cans can sometimes be slightly stirred with a spoon. Cool, close lid and refrigerator. Yummy!

And you can soar this way: we put the jar on the jar (neck to neck) through a sheet of paper, which we pull out and just one of the two turns out one.)))
