One of the most useful preparations for the winter is red viburnum jam. Viburnum berries are a symbol of maiden beauty in Rus'. They are rich in vitamin C, are useful for stomach diseases and stimulate the immune system. In the simplest recipe for viburnum jam with seeds, you can do without boiling the berries, but simply rub the viburnum with sugar and roll it into jars. However, short-term heat treatment for 5-7 minutes will remove the bitterness from the viburnum.

How to cook Viburnum jam

Step 1

Cook the syrup. Pour water into a saucepan or jam bowl and bring to a boil. Add sugar and cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 2

Add the berries. Pour the viburnum into the hot syrup and cook for 5 minutes after boiling. Then remove from heat and leave to cool for 12 hours. After that, put the container with the jam back on the fire, bring to a boil and turn off the heat.

Step 3

Place the jam in jars. Transfer the hot jam into dry sterilized jars and close with clean lids. Turn the jars with jam upside down until completely cool. Store the viburnum jam in the refrigerator or a cool cellar.
