Cranberries are a unique berry. It is rich in antioxidants that slow down the aging process. Cranberry juice is a good antiscorbutic agent. For colds, sore throat use berries with honey. The medicinal properties of cranberries are explained by the presence of organic acids and vitamins in it. Berries contain pectins and minerals (potassium, calcium, phosphorus, tellurium, manganese, iodine), as well as benzoic acid, which enhances the effect of antibiotics. Cranberries are a good side dish for many dishes; they are used to make drinks, jams, and sweets.

Jam

To soften the dense skin of the cranberry, I dip the prepared berries in boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes. After the berries have cooled, I put them in boiling sugar syrup and cook for a short time while boiling continuously.

Jelly

Knead the sorted and washed cranberries with a wooden crush in a non-oxidizing dish. I squeeze the juice and put it in the refrigerator.

Pour the pulp with hot water and cook in a sealed container at a low boil for 5-10 minutes. Add sugar and soaked gelatin to the strained broth, stir the mixture until it is completely dissolved and bring it to a boil. Pour squeezed juice into this sugar-gelatin syrup, then filter the mixture, cool to 15-20 ° and pour it into molds. If necessary, brighten with egg white.
