Once you expose jam recipe, Once there are people who take half the sugar, and cook it in a few times faster, someone does not cook at all, some craftsmen did not sterilized jars, etc.
What is most interesting, have a jam stored at room temperature for a few years, without acidification, mold and other troubles.
And here in runet there is another fashion fairy tale about a wonderful Swedish jam called - silt. Mysterious of all, it's a miracle can be prepared from any berries, and it gelled perfectly kept itself.
I'm in fairy tales do not believe, I prefer to rely on facts and often spend my experiments. At this time, I decided to test the Swedish silt on the Russian cherry.
INGREDIENTS
pitted cherries 1 kg
sugar 700 g
VIDEO EXPERIMENT
Experiment - cherry jam gelling
Cherry bust, wash and get rid of the seeds.
Include a small heating and put the berries on the plate.
Once stand out juice, heat can be increased.
Bring to the boil and berries boil for 15-20 minutes.
Turn off heat and remove the cherries with the Plate.
Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.
Sterilized jars and lids.
Pour jam on banks and you can expect to receive a cherry jelly.
Jam to stand in the refrigerator overnight.
Of course, no jelly were no banks.
At the outlet turned liquid syrup berries floating in it.
Content was tasty, but definitely not what say the authors of these recipes.
Keep going to the refrigerator.
*****
Why jelly did not work? Because cherry contains very low content of pectin.
For long-term storage in Swedish silt added E211 - sodium benzoate, so the amount of sugar can be reduced.
For gelled jam with a guarantee better use of gooseberries and red and black currant.
And if you want to get jam with little sugar, More suitable for cranberry or cranberries.
They are enough of its benzoic acid, which will provide long-term storage of the jam.

I wish you bon appetit!
