Frozen blueberries are a wonderful reminder of summer in a cold winter, while virtually all the vitamins and minerals in frozen blueberries are preserved throughout the winter. In addition, if it is more difficult to keep track of your figure in winter, blueberries are a good helper, because 1 glass contains only 79 kilocalories. Besides the fact that blueberries are delicious on their own, they are just as delicious when baked. In some cases, frozen blueberries are even more convenient to use than fresh ones, since blueberry juice colors the dough, for example, gray, but frozen berries do not produce juice, and beautiful whole blueberries will remain in light baked goods. Cinnamon and vanillin especially emphasize the blueberry flavor, so you can often find these spices in blueberry recipes. I start thawing blueberries in February and this is what I came up with!

Have you collected a good harvest of blueberries and are wondering how to prepare them for future use? The solution is simple - make blueberry preparations for the winter. Mostly blueberries are made into jam and frozen. I’ll tell you how to do this step by step.

So, you brought blueberries from the forest. The very first thing to do is to take away the rubbish. There are many ways to remove debris from berries.

• You can do it with your hands. Pour some berries onto a flat plate and carefully select the leaves and twigs.
• You can roll back. Place a piece of polyethylene on the table so that it covers the entire table and hangs 30-40 centimeters from one edge. Roll up the edges of the polyethylene on both sides along the table, so that you get a wide gutter on one side, and a narrow one where it hangs. Raise the edge of the table with the wide side of the gutter. Place a basin under the low end of the table so that the berries that roll down fall into it. Pour blueberries onto the wide end of the gutter and let them roll into the basin, while removing the leaves and twigs.

These two methods are the most common. They say that you can blow away the dirt in the wind or with a vacuum cleaner. But I have never seen how this is done.

Some housewives boil blueberries with leaves, removing only large debris. But if you are preparing “raw” jam, then the leaves can quickly ferment it.

They took the berry. Now is the time to cook it. There is also a wide choice here.

Raw blueberry jam

If the berry is freshly picked, no more than two days, it will be great to make “raw” jam. It’s quite simple to prepare, just grind the berries and add sugar in a 1:1 ratio. Then stir the entire mass until the sugar is completely dissolved, and the direction of stirring is strictly in one direction. Pour the finished jam into sterile jars, close the lids and store. It is not recommended to store for more than a year. When using this recipe, vitamins are preserved relatively well.

There is another way, my grandmother used it. Blueberries are sprinkled with sugar and placed in jars. It is recommended to store in the refrigerator and eat first.

Making blueberry jam for the winter

If more than two days have passed since the berries were picked, it is better to cook the jam. I do this: I place the berries and sugar in a bowl in layers, the top layer is always sugar. I also maintain the proportions 1:1. I leave it for 12 hours. Then I cook it over low heat. I bring it to a boil, boil for about 15 minutes. Then cool it. I boil again and cook for 15 minutes. I pour boiling blueberry jam into sterile jars, you can roll them up with metal lids. I cool it and put it away for storage.

Five-minute blueberry jam, simple recipe

To prepare you will need:

• blueberries – 2 kg;
• granulated sugar – 1 kg;
• zhelfix -20 gr.

Preparation

1. You need to start cooking by processing the collected berries. They contain a large number of leaves, twigs and various debris. It is necessary to remove all the leaves that come across by pouring the berries from handful to handful (they can stick to the berries, so you need to carefully inspect the fruits).
2. Then the berries must be filled with water and all debris that floats to the surface must be removed. After this, the berries are placed in a colander and washed well under running water.
3. When the water has drained, add the specified amount of sugar to the blueberries and mix thoroughly. As soon as the berries have given juice, put the berries in an enamel bowl on the stove and, stirring, wait for them to boil. When stirring, remove the noise generated.
4. Let our jam simmer for 5 minutes until the berries become soft. If you need to get jelly-like jam, add jellyfix mixed with sugar in the proportion indicated on the package and cook for a couple more minutes.
5. While the jam is being prepared, it is necessary to prepare containers for preservation - jars. They must be thoroughly washed with baking soda, turned over on a paper towel and allowed to drain.
6. When the water has drained, place the jars upside down on a special sterilizer or kettle with a suitable size hole and hold the jars for 7 minutes over boiling water.
7. Lids, like jars, must be sterilized. They need to be boiled in a container of water so that the water completely covers them, remove them using tweezers, place them on a paper towel, and let them dry.
8. As soon as the preparation of the jam is finished, pour it into jars using a large spoon, cover with lids and seal with a special machine for preserving food.
9. The sealed jars must be turned over and wrapped in a warm blanket overnight, or until the jam has cooled completely. It is better to put paper under the lids of the jars to check the tightness and prevent damage or leakage of the product, because the jars are often chipped, the lids and the machine may be defective.
10. When the blueberry jam has cooled completely, turn the jars over and store them in the darkest place in the house.

This jam can be stored for several years, but to be calm, you can add an additional preservative - citric acid - at the last stage of cooking. 0.5 teaspoon will be enough. It will not only allow the jam to retain its properties longer, but will also give it a unique taste.

Five-minute blueberry jam prepared according to this recipe is tender, moderately sweet, and has a natural blueberry flavor. It can be used as a filling for pies, consumed with tea or added to soft cottage cheese. Not everything works out the first time, but this jam can be easily sealed even the first time.

And the best way is freezing. Blueberries need to be washed, put in a colander to drain the water, spread the berries on a clean dry towel, and dry. Then put the berries into bags in small portions weighing about 0.5 kilograms. And into the freezer! Blueberries frozen in this way will not stick together into a lump and can always be taken as much as required. From frozen berries you can make dumplings, various pies, decorate cakes and the most useful thing is to thaw them, sprinkle with or without sugar and a spoon, spoon, just like in the summer!

To brew this drink, you first need to carefully sort and wash fresh berries under cold water. After this, the fruits are laid out on a paper napkin. There they should dry completely.

The prepared blueberries are placed in a metal sieve with small holes. They grind it well there. The resulting juice is poured into a separate clean bowl.

The surviving fruits are placed in gauze and squeezed again by hand. At the same time, the remaining syrup will be released from them. Then put the remaining blueberries in a saucepan and fill it with water.

The dishes are placed on the stove. In this case, you need to turn on the highest possible fire. The liquid is brought to a full boil. After this, the fire is reduced.

Then cook the fruits for another 10-15 minutes. The entire mass is filtered through gauze folded in several layers. Add granulated sugar to the still hot mixture (150 grams of sugar per 150 grams of blueberries and 1 liter of water).

The berry mass must be thoroughly mixed so that all the sugar is completely dissolved in it. Wait until the fruit drink has cooled down. After this, pour the blueberry juice into it.

Dilute the liquid a little with mineral water, and then serve the finished drink to the table.

Fresh blueberry juice with cinnamon

First, the berries are washed well with cold water. They are then squeezed out using a fine-hole sieve. The surviving berries are placed in a bowl and filled with hot water. Pour regular granulated sugar (0.5 cups per 1 cup of product) and vanilla sugar (2 teaspoons) into this mass.

At the end, ground cinnamon (1/4 teaspoon) is added to the mixture. The mixture with all the mixed ingredients is put on fire. It is cooked for five minutes over medium heat.

The still hot blueberry juice is filtered through a metal sieve. Then berry juice is carefully poured into this mass in small portions. The finished product is cooled in the refrigerator. Then it is poured into glasses and served to the table.

Frozen blueberry juice

Remove frozen blueberries from the freezer. There is no need to defrost it before cooking. At the same time, take a saucepan with a deep bottom and pour clean water into it (2.5 liters per 500 grams of berries).

Bring the water in the pan to a boil. Frozen blueberries are poured into the hot liquid. It is recommended to add more blueberry leaves and twigs to the bowl. They contain a considerable amount of vitamin C.

At the end, sugar is poured into the fruit drink to taste. Many housewives advise adding frozen cherries to the drink for greater aroma and taste, but this is not necessary. The mass is thoroughly mixed so that the granulated sugar is completely dissolved in the liquid.

Cook the blueberry juice over medium heat for a few minutes. At the same time, do not forget to stir it constantly. Place the finished drink in the refrigerator so it can cool. Then pour it into glasses and serve.

Fruit juice with blueberries in a slow cooker

Many housewives add a little blueberries and red currants there for a better aroma. The ingredients are poured with cold water. Afterwards, the “Quenching” mode is turned on on the multicooker.

In this mode, the fruit drink is left to cook for 40-45 minutes. It is also possible to use the “Cooking” program. But in this case, the drink is brewed for only 20 minutes.

When this time has passed and the timer sounds, the bowl with the product is taken out. The blueberry juice is cooled. To do this, let it sit for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.

After this, honey is added to the drink to taste. The entire contents of the dish are thoroughly mixed until this sweet ingredient is completely dissolved in the liquid.

Wait until the berry juice has completely cooled down. Then strain the product. This is done using a metal sieve or colander. Then the drink is poured into containers, placed in the refrigerator and served to the table.

Blueberry juice with lemon

Ripe berries are washed and sorted. They are poured into a pan of water. Mix all the contents of the dish well.

Drain all the liquid from the pan using a colander. At the same time, you need to take one lemon, wash it and dry it. Grate the citrus on a fine grater. Squeeze the juice from the fruit.

The seeds should not get into the drink; this can spoil the taste of the fruit drink. Prepare containers for it. The fruits are first laid out in them. Grated lemon is placed on top of them.

At the end, squeezed blueberry juice and lemon juice are poured into all these ingredients. Remember that there should be no more than one tablespoon of citrus syrup in each container. You need to leave some space in them for the syrup.

To make it, you need to pour water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Then pour granulated sugar there. The resulting hot syrup is poured into each container with blueberries and citrus. Close them and cool. Typically, such a drink is rolled into sterilized jars and stored for the winter.
