Blueberries are fruits that bring to mind childhood and holidays in the countryside. They are an ideal addition to cakes, pierogi, smoothies, fruit dumplings, and... blueberry buns! Many people also make blueberry soup from them, because these fruits are not only delicious — they are also very healthy, as they contain many vitamins and minerals and are a source of fiber. That is why they are recommended for stomach and digestive problems. It is worth eating blueberries not only in summer, but also in winter — to make this possible, they should be properly processed and sealed, for example, in jars. How to make the simplest blueberry preserves, i.e., blueberries in juice? Check out our recipe!
Recipe for Blueberries in Juice
Preparation:
Sort the blueberries — remove any leaves and twigs, wash them, and drain in a sieve. In the meantime, prepare the jars — wash them, scald with boiling water, and then dry. When the blueberries have drained, fill each jar halfway with berries, then sprinkle with 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and add another layer of blueberries until they reach the rim of the jar. Do not crush or pack the blueberries; when the sugar dissolves and the fruit settles, you can add a little more on top. Screw on the lids and place the jars in a pot with cold water. Note! The water should reach about 1.5 cm below the rim of the jar so that the lids remain exposed. Pasteurize the jars with blueberries for about 25 minutes from the time the water comes to a boil. After pasteurization, remove the jars, tighten the lids more firmly (Note! The jars will be hot!) and set them upside down until completely cooled.
