Ingredients
Show ingredients
- cherry – 1650 g;
- sugar – 6 tbsp (without heap).
Preparation
- It is better to start with preparing the jars. Washed jars with soda can be conveniently steamed in a pan with water (when they are covered with steam, they can be used further). Metal lids should be boiled for 5 minutes.
- Remove pits from the cherries with a special gadget or a regular hairpin.
- Fill the cooled jars halfway with berries, slightly crush them, and add a spoonful of sugar.
- Fill the jar almost to the top with fruits (during sterilization, the cherry with juice will rise a little and may spill out, so do not fill the jar to the very top), gently press down and sprinkle with a spoonful of sugar again.
- Line the bottom of a pot suitable in volume with a cloth so that the jars do not rattle and shift during boiling. Place the preparations in it, and fill the pot with cold water so that the water is a couple of centimeters below the neck of the jar.
- Cover the jars with metal lids without twisting them tightly. Turn on the stove and boil the preparations for 20 minutes.
- Then carefully remove them from the pot and seal with a key or screw-on lids. A heat bath is not needed for such sealing – it will cool down right on the table, after which the jars can be stored in a cupboard, and they can be kept not only in the basement but also in the apartment.
For making a "Drunken Cherry" cake, for pies, layers, and pastry decorations – a recipe for cherry in its own juice without pits for winter will always come in handy. The berry with its sweet-and-sour taste wonderfully integrates into any culinary creations, giving them a special touch that is unique to it.
