Place them in a deep container (not metric), cover generously with granulated sugar. Save 100 g of sugar for later.

Stir the mixture so that the sugar grains envelop all the berries. In this state, set the viburnum aside for 1 hour, covering with gauze.

After a while, some of the sugar will dissolve. Crush the berry with a crush.

Prepare sterile jars, it is better if they are small in volume. Fill them with berry mass, leaving an empty space for sugar on top.
