Dogwood is a shrub with bright oblong red berries. This plant is southern, in our Caucasus it is very common both in the wild and in summer cottages. Dogwood is valued not only for unusual taste but also for the healing properties it possesses. In addition to the standard set of vitamins that all berries are rich in, dogwood contains a lot of vitamin P, so it helps strengthen the walls of blood vessels, prevents fragility of capillaries, helps with venous insufficiency, swelling of the legs, inflammation of the veins. Dogwood jam is a very tasty and healthy delicacy. In the Caucasus, it is often used as an antipyretic and anti-inflammatory agent for colds and flu. Here I will talk about how to cook dogwood jam so that it is not only tasty, but also retains all the benefits of an unusual berry.

For jam, you can use any dogwood - both wild and garden. V healing properties they are equivalent. But, since dogwood is always boiled with a stone, it is useful to know that in garden varieties, as a rule, the stone is smaller, the berries are more fleshy, and therefore it is preferable to use garden dogwood in culinary terms. The jam from it is thicker and richer. When buying dogwood in the markets, be sure to try and choose a berry of dark burgundy color, sweeter taste, with fleshy and juicy pulp.

You will need:

• dogwood 1.5 kg
• sugar 1.5 kg
• water 100 - 300 ml

You will also need enameled dishes - a bowl with a flat bottom and high sides with a volume of 3-3.5 liters is better.
Advice: lAlways boil any jam in a small bowl, no more than 1.5 kg of berries. In this case, the jam will warm up faster and more evenly, the berries will not boil soft and the syrup will turn out to be transparent..

From this amount of products, 4 half-liter jars of jam are obtained.

Step by step photo recipe:

Sort the berries, clean them of debris and impurities, wash them, put them in a colander so that the water is glass.

Prepare the syrup: Pour sugar into a bowl, add 100 ml of water and, stirring, bring to a boil. If the sugar does not melt well, this may be due to its quality, add more water.

Boil the syrup for 5-7 minutes, stir constantly. Once the syrup thickens, it is ready.

Dip the berries in the syrup mix gently and leave to cool for 10-12 hours(I leave overnight). Do not be embarrassed that there is not enough syrup - soon the dogwood will give juice and the syrup will cover all the berries.

Morning d bring the jam to a boil. No need to boil the jam for 5 minutes, as many cookbooks advise. At the first boil syrup should form., which will cover the berries. Turn off the fire and leave the jam to cool for 10-12 hours- if you started cooking in the morning, then leave it until the evening. When cooling, it is useful to gently stir the contents of the bowl several times. Do not be alarmed if, when stirring, you find undissolved sugar at the bottom, this is normal, because the cooking process is only at the very beginning.

Cook jam in three steps: morning-evening-morning. Or evening-morning-evening, to whom it is convenient. For the second cooking, as well as for the first, just bring the jam to a boil. For the last third time, boil the jam for 5 minutes, pour into clean sterilized jars and close the lids. There is no need to wrap jam in a blanket. See how to sterilize jars and lids → Closed banks leave to cool at room temperature, then remove for storage. Any "hot jam" can be stored at room temperature.

With this bright and unusual, and for the northerners quite exotic delicacy, you can forget all your business!
