Raspberries for the winter - simple recipes for preparing them

There is no need to talk about the taste and benefits of raspberry preparations for the winter. But you can make not only the usual jam. I’ll tell you about some interesting options for preserving raspberries in a jar so you can enjoy your favorite taste while drinking tea.

But first, a few useful secrets that will help you make winter preparations without difficulty:

• The easiest way to sterilize jars is to “bake” them in the oven. To do this, place the jars on a baking sheet in the oven and turn the heat to maximum. The jars are sterilized within 10 minutes. After the specified time, turn off the heat and let the jars cool for 15–20 minutes. Fast and easy!

A couple of tips relate directly to berries:

• If the berries are from your garden, there is no need to wash them - raspberries do not like water too much. Purchased berries, of course, should be washed under running water and then dried on a towel.
• To remove bugs and caterpillars from raspberries, you need to soak them in saline solution for 15 minutes. The insects will float up, after which all you have to do is wash the berries and dry them.

The best part is that during heat treatment, the berries do not lose their beneficial health properties!

Raspberry jam - a classic recipe

Preparation:

1. First you need to make a syrup from water and sugar. To do this, take a wide-bottomed bowl, pour out the water and add sugar. Place the future syrup on the fire and, stirring continuously, wait until the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. When the syrup is ready, pour in the berries. Bring the syrup with berries to a boil. After boiling, cook for 10 minutes, periodically skim off the foam from the surface of the jam. It is advisable not to stir the jam, but to shake it. But if you are not confident in your abilities, mix with a wooden spoon as carefully as possible.
3. Cool the jam. Then boil again and cook for 10 minutes. Don't forget to remove the foam. The boiling-cooling procedure should be performed 2-3 times. The more times you repeat, the thicker the dessert will be.
4. You can check the readiness of the jam like this: drop a drop of jam onto the plate; it should not spread. Spread the finished jam and close the lids tightly.

According to nutritionists, it is frozen raspberries that retain the greatest amount of nutrients.

Frozen raspberries are an excellent basis for preparing fruit drinks, compotes, jellies, mousses and other various desserts.

After defrosting, raspberries can be consumed fresh. Fresh raspberries without sugar are classified as food products. This property of raspberries is due to the high content of antioxidants: quercetin, vitamin C, ellagic acid. Ellagic acid is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes carcinogens and slows down the proliferation of cancer cells.

Freezing raspberries at home

For freezing, select whole, undamaged raspberries. It is best if a minimum amount of time passes between picking and freezing the raspberries, thereby preserving the greatest amount of nutrients in the berry.

If you are sure that your raspberries are clean, then it is better not to wash the raspberries before freezing, but simply sort them out. If not, then I wrote about how to properly wash raspberries in the first preparation method, see raw raspberry jam.

But you should always remember that we only freeze completely dry raspberries. Then place the prepared raspberries in one layer on a flat surface. A tray or cutting board will do. Place the tray in the freezer. A very important point is the temperature regime! The temperature in the freezer should not be higher than minus 18 degrees (we freeze for a day), or, if there is a freezing mode in the refrigerator, then simply turn on this mode. Thanks to this freezing method, raspberry fruits will freeze evenly and very quickly, retaining their maximum taste and nutritional value.

Once the raspberries are frozen, place them in containers or sturdy food bags or freezer bags. Such frozen raspberries will be stored for a whole year in your freezer and will not lose their taste and medicinal properties.

Raspberries for the winter recipes

A simple and traditional way to prepare fruits and berries is to make jam. You can cook it in the classic way, or as a five-minute one. For five minutes, take 1-1.2 kg of sugar per 1 kg of berries. If the raspberries are very juicy, then it is better to take more sugar. We sort the berries, wash them and let them drain in a colander. If they are from your own dacha and clean, it is better not to wash them. Sometimes there are worms in the berries - larvae of the raspberry beetle.

To get rid of them, pour the raspberries into a bowl of salted water, after a few minutes, remove the floating bugs, drain the raspberries in a colander and rinse with clean water. You can use regular or paper towels for drying.

To dry, scatter the berries in a thin layer on a towel and gently blot the top. Pour the raspberries into a bowl, sprinkling them with sugar in layers. Do not stir, but shake the bowl so that the sugar is distributed evenly. Leave the basin for 5-6 hours to allow the juice to stand out, then put the jam on the fire, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes, skimming off the foam. After this, pour the product into dry, sterilized jars and seal it hermetically. Turn the jam onto the lids and wrap until completely cool. This preparation can be stored at room temperature, but it is better to put the open jar in the refrigerator.

The classic cooking method is similar, but we put 1.3-1.5 kg of sugar per 1 kg of berries and boil the jam until a drop of syrup dropped on a saucer begins to spread. This is a classic recipe according to which our grandmothers used to make jam, but more exotic cooking methods can be offered.

If you don’t like jam with seeds, you can use the following method. Take 1 kg of berries, add half a glass of water and heat. If you are afraid that the berries will burn, you can heat them in a water bath. As soon as the mass softens, rub it through a sieve to remove the seeds. If your sieve is not fine enough, strain the mixture again through cheesecloth. Add 1 kg of sugar to the resulting puree. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer over low heat until a drop of syrup stops spreading on the saucer. Pack the jam hot into sterilized jars and seal. Invert the jars onto the lid until they cool completely. And in winter you can enjoy tea with raspberry jam, complementing it.

Raspberry recipe for the winter

Berries in jelly are very attractive and tasty. Raspberries contain quite a lot of pectin, but still, to make the jelly more dense, the addition of gelatin or gelatin is required. Gelatin is of animal origin; it is a collagen protein. Therefore, so that jam with gelatin can be stored for a long time, it is prepared with cognac or vodka. For 1 kg of berries you need to take 0.8 kg of sugar, 50 g of cognac or vodka, 10 g of gelatin.

Soak the gelatin in warm water according to the recipe. Mash the raspberries with a masher with added sugar or chop with a blender. Place the bowl with raspberry puree in a water bath and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, skimming off the foam. Then add dissolved gelatin, cognac or vodka, stir and bring to a boil again. After this, put the jam into sterilized jars and seal tightly.

Zhelfix is ​​a mixture of pectin, powdered sugar and citric acid. All products are exclusively of plant origin. Sometimes a preservative is sorbic acid. Now it is being synthesized, and for the first time this substance was obtained from rowan juice, so it has a completely natural origin. Let's take berries and sugar in a 1:1 ratio and for every kilogram of berries 20g of jellyfix.

Place the container with the berries on the fire, add the jelly fix and heat to a boil over medium heat. Pour sugar into the boiling berry mass while stirring, bring to a boil again, reduce the heat, cook, skimming off the foam for 5 minutes. After this, pour the finished product into jars and seal.

Zhelfix will make it easier to prepare marshmallows, marmalade, thick jam and jam.

Delicious raspberries for the winter can be prepared in the form of marshmallows. To make this ancient delicacy, raspberries, sorted, washed and dried, are placed in an enamel bowl and briefly placed in the oven or in a water bath. The heated berries are rubbed hot through a sieve. Alas, this procedure cannot be avoided. Otherwise, seeds will remain, and their presence in the finished product is highly undesirable. Sugar is added to the resulting puree to taste. Please note that the finished pastille will taste sweeter than puree. Then the berry mass with sugar is poured onto a baking sheet lined with parchment in a layer of no more than 0.5 cm. The parchment is greased with vegetable oil. Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 50-60 degrees for 5-6 hours.

There are special dryers that greatly facilitate the entire process. The result is a dried, flexible sweet leaf. It can be cut into pieces, wrapped in cling film and stored on the refrigerator door. You can mix raspberries for marshmallows with other fruits. By the way, raspberries can be dried for the winter. They store well in jars at room temperature. To dry, raspberries on a tray or baking sheet should be laid out in one layer at intervals, as for freezing. The berry must be whole and unripe.

Raspberries make excellent marmalade, but it is better to prepare it with the addition of berries or fruits that contain more pectin, for example, red currants, gooseberries, apple or quince preparations. If you want to make marmalade only from raspberries, use zhelfix. Pastila and marmalade will expand the range of your items on the holiday table. But they will be appropriate on any day.

Let's look at a few recipes.

1.700g raspberries, 300g red currants, 0.6 kg sugar. Heat the berries in the oven or in a water bath. Rub the hot berry mass through a sieve. Add sugar to the resulting puree. Boil to half the volume over low heat, skimming off the foam. Pour into a baking tray or mold in a layer of about 2 cm and leave to cool. Cut the cooled marmalade into cubes with a sharp knife. Roll each piece in sugar. You can make marmalade with gooseberries in the same way.

2.700 g raspberries, 300 g apple or quince puree, 600 g sugar. Get raspberry puree without seeds, as in the previous method. To obtain quince or apple puree, remove the core from the fruit and cut into slices. Pour in enough water to just cover the pieces of fruit and simmer over low heat, covered, until softened. After this, rub together with the liquid through a sieve. Mix both types of puree, add sugar and boil to half volume while stirring.

3.1 kg raspberries, 1 kg sugar, 20 g jelfix or quettin. Get raspberry puree as in previous methods, add zhelfix or quettin and sugar and boil for 5-10 minutes

The finished marmalade is poured into molds or poured onto a tray in a 2-3 cm layer and allowed to cool. The frozen marmalade is cut into squares, you can roll it in sugar. Store in a closed jar at room temperature.

Raspberry liqueur. For a three-liter jar you need 2 kg of raspberries, a glass of water and 0.8-1 kg of sugar. Mash the raspberries with sugar or chop with a blender, transfer to a three-liter jar, add water, mix. Place in a warm place, for example. On a sunny windowsill. Place a water seal on the jar or put on a rubber medical glove with a finger pierced with a needle. When the glove falls off after fermentation, the liqueur is ready. It needs to be strained into another container through several layers of gauze and allowed to sit for a day, then bottled and hermetically sealed. Store in a cool, dark place.

Raspberry syrup. It can be used to prepare various dishes and drinks. This syrup is delicious for filling pancakes or pancakes. For 1 kg of berries, take 1 kg of sugar and a glass of water. Make syrup from water and sugar. Dip the raspberries into the hot syrup. We remove the foam. Let it cool, then strain the mixture through a sieve or colander with gauze placed on it. Boil the syrup for 5-10 minutes and pour it hot into the prepared container and seal it hermetically, and the squeezes can be used to prepare marshmallows.

Raspberry vinegar. This vinegar can hardly be called raspberry in the literal sense of the word, but it has a very pleasant raspberry aroma and bright color. They are good for dressing fruit and vegetable salads, as well as for pickling. Mash 100g fresh raspberries with 1 tbsp. spoon of sugar and pour 500 ml of 9% alcohol vinegar into the resulting puree. Let it brew for 24 hours, strain. Then add 100g of whole raspberries and let it brew for another week. You can make cherry, strawberry, blackberry, and blueberry sauce in the same way.

Raspberries for the winter with sugar or raw jam. Like some other berries, raspberries can be preserved perfectly without cooking if you mix them with enough sugar. True, it can only be stored in a cool place. If you have a cellar or a very cool but frost-free balcony, then you should prepare it in this way. Sugar and berries are taken in a 1:1 ratio by volume. That is, for a liter jar of fresh raspberries, we will take a liter jar of sugar. Or 1:2 by weight, that is, 1 kg of berries will require 2 kg of sugar.

For raw jam, you need to select ripe but undamaged berries. You can perfectly process overripe and wrinkled ones in another way; they are not suitable for this preparation. pour the prepared berries into a bowl, add the required amount of sugar and thoroughly knead the whole mass with a wooden masher until smooth, this is recommended to do in order to preserve the maximum of vitamins. In my opinion, the blender will grind the mass just as well.

The cutting planes are made of fairly high-quality stainless steel; at high speed, the processing time is very small, and time and effort are saved quite noticeably. It is not recommended to use a meat grinder, because the knives of the meat grinder are made of ordinary, quite rusty steel. If you still decide to use an environmentally friendly masher, take berries and sugar in small portions, say, a glass. Then you will be able to knead it faster and more thoroughly than at once a large volume.

It is better to take a bowl that is enamel without damage, porcelain or glass. We put the finished jam in clean, dry jars (or better yet, don’t be lazy and sterilize them) and cover with scalded plastic lids. Raspberries for the winter, ground with sugar, should be stored in the refrigerator or cellar.

Freezing raspberries for the winter- the easiest way to prepare if you have a separate freezer or a fairly large freezer in the refrigerator. It’s easy to do, and it doesn’t seem like you need any special recommendations, but some points should still be noted. Of course, you need to freeze selected unripe raspberries. There are varieties whose berries have dense pulp that tolerates transportation well. These are exactly the ones you should take. Harvest for freezing in dry weather. Do not wash berries intended for freezing. You can not fool yourself too much, but pour raspberries in small portions into plastic containers or bags and put them in the freezer.

But it’s better not to be lazy and freeze the berries in small portions, scattering them on a tray or tray of a suitable size in one layer with intervals, so that the berries lie separately from one another. Pour the frozen berries in portions into suitable containers and put them back in the freezer. This way they will remain intact and undamaged. It’s wonderful that defrosted raspberries do not spread out into a watery blob, but retain their appearance and taste. If you still want to wash the berries in order to use them raw later, dry them thoroughly before freezing so that they do not freeze into one mass.

Preface

It has long been no secret how useful raspberries are - every family tries to make at least a few jars of this jam for the winter, because it has a unique diaphoretic property and can bring down a high temperature. So let’s look at all the features of this plant and give the most delicious and popular recipes.

Everyone knows about the benefits of this berry, because tea with raspberry jam is the first and very effective aid for colds. It should be noted that the plant itself is unpretentious in care and takes root almost anywhere; moreover, it grows at incredible speed. The massive harvest usually occurs in August. But what is noteworthy is that at this time the bush simultaneously contains ripe, still green fruits and even flowers.

Raspberries contain a large amount of vitamins, but salicylic acid, which has an antipyretic effect, is especially important. Moreover, in this form it is absorbed much better in the human body. The plant is also rich in minerals - potassium, iron, copper. Therefore, it is recommended to use it for disorders of the nervous system, colds, hypertension, anemia and gastrointestinal disorders. Vitamins A and E have a beneficial effect on skin condition. Raspberries contain a huge amount of vitamin C, B12, B1 and PP. The berry retains all its properties even after heat treatment. So raspberry preparations for the winter are almost as healthy as the fresh product.

However, a few words should be said about contraindications. Do not overuse it, as it can cause allergies. And for diabetics and people with kidney diseases it is completely dangerous. Due to the high content of vitamins and folic acid, raspberries should be eaten by pregnant women, but only in limited quantities.

Compotes can rightfully be called the favorites of winter preparations. They not only perfectly quench thirst and tone up, but are also sources of vitamins. The recipes are very numerous. Some compotes can be prepared using a more simplified technology, others are famous for their excellent aroma and taste. The most suitable option can only be determined through numerous experiments. It must be said that raspberries go well with other berries, especially blackberries and strawberries; we will also consider such recipes.

For compote, only ripe and whole fruits are carefully selected. Berries affected by fruit beetles are allowed, but they must be placed in a 2% saline solution for a few minutes. All larvae will float to the surface and are removed with a slotted spoon. All that remains is to thoroughly rinse the fruits with cold water to remove salt. Containers and lids are subject to careful selection. They must be intact without traces of rust or other defects. We wash and sterilize suitable utensils. Now let's move on directly to raspberry recipes; for the winter you can put a jar of each compote in order to decide on your favorite flavor for the next season.

• Recipe No. 1

Fill a jar (3 liters) with berries approximately 1/3 and pour boiling water. Leave for 20 minutes to allow the fruits to release their juice. Then pour the liquid into the pan. Add 300 g of sugar to it, boil for 3 minutes so that the sweet sand is completely dissolved. Then turn off and let the syrup brew for 7 minutes. Pour it back into the container with the berries and roll it up. If there is not enough liquid, you can add boiling water. Wrap the jars in a warm blanket and turn them upside down for a day.
