Method of making instant jam "Vitaminka" from summer berries with banana

First, prepare the sugar syrup for the quick jam. Pour granulated sugar into a saucepan with a thick bottom, pour water. Heat to a boil.

After boiling, the syrup begins to foam strongly, the sugar dissolves and the syrup becomes transparent. When the foam settles and the boil becomes even, you can load fruits and berries. You do not need to cook the sugar syrup for the jam for a long time, 4-5 minutes is enough.

Peel the bananas, rub on a coarse grater. Put the grated bananas in the boiling syrup. Peeled and grated bananas darken when exposed to air, so cook the fruit just before loading it into the syrup.

We sort out the berries - remove the leaves, garbage, cut off the currants from the twigs, examine the raspberries, there may be larvae of a raspberry beetle. To get rid of the larvae, you need to put the berries in slightly salted cold water for 10-15 minutes, when the larvae of the raspberry beetle float to the surface, remove them with a spoon, and rinse the raspberries with running water in a colander.

Gently stir and quickly bring the quick jam to a boil, simmer for 3 minutes over high heat. At this time, abundant foam will appear again. At first, the jam will be motley in color, gradually raspberries and strawberries will secrete juice and everything will turn dark pink. If not digested, the beautiful color and most of the nutrients will remain.

Remove the saucepan from heat and leave for a few minutes to cool the jam and stop boiling. Then again heat to a boil and boil for 3 minutes. At the second boil, the jam foams much less.

Shake the saucepan so that the foam collects in the center. Collect the foam with a clean and dry spoon. Probably, for many, this process evokes pleasant childhood memories. My grandmother is in an apron next to a large copper basin, from which the magical aroma of strawberry jam emanates and a pink thick foam in a wooden spoon.

Wash the jar and lid with warm water and dish detergent or baking soda. Then rinse with hot water and dry in an oven at 100 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. Pour hot jam into a warm and dry jar, while it is hot - it will be liquid, as it cools - it will thicken. Cool the workpiece to room temperature, close the lid tightly. Quick jam "Vitaminka" from summer berries with a banana is ready. Store in a cool and dry place away from heating appliances and direct sunlight.
