Chokeberry jam
Chokeberry (chokeberry) clusters are not as sweet as, for example, raspberries, but it is the amazing astringent taste that allows them to be successfully used in culinary crafts. Desserts, pastries, sauces, fruit juices, etc. – the range of uses of this unique plant is truly inexhaustible. Chokeberry jam is especially popular.
Moreover, there are many recipes for such a delicacy - the addition of one or another component significantly complements the taste. And before moving on to all this diversity, you first need to understand the peculiarities of harvesting.
We prepare the berries on time, preserving their beneficial properties.
Harvesting of chokeberry occurs in the second half of summer, when it becomes ripe and ripens along with other shrub plants. Depending on the storage methods, the bunches are separated from the bush with pruning shears or the berries themselves are collected. Next, the chokeberry path goes directly to canning jars. You can freeze the chokeberry. The berries are also dried and then they:
- go into decoctions that increase immunity;
- used as a blood pressure lowering agent;
- are a powerful stimulant for the prevention of atherosclerosis.
Experienced gardeners leave the surplus harvest that is not processed and remains on the bushes until spring - this will attract the necessary birds to the garden and give them the opportunity to enjoy the sweet berries right from under the snow. Having such a valuable product at home can significantly improve your health and the well-being of your loved ones.
The best recipes from healing berries
The peculiarity of chokeberry is that the berry itself, useful as a medicine, has a specific, astringent taste, which is more likely to be appreciated by an amateur than by a mass consumer.
