Tricks of cooking jam in a slow cooker

2.   remove immediately to evaporate as much moisture as possible. So the consistency of jam will turn out almost perfect.
3. Capacity should not be loaded by more than 30%. Cooking jam is characterized by abundant release of foam, which can flow out of the device.
4. Planning to cook dogwood jam in a slow cooker? Get a plastic or silicone ladle in advance, which you will use to pack the dessert for filling into cans - this way the covering of the bowl will remain intact.

Preparation of fruits for processing

For jam, choose ripe fruit with a sufficiently dense skin. Before buying, try the berries: their taste should be tart, but sweet enough. Dogwood jam recipe involves the use of bright red, that is, ripe fruit. Raw materials are placed in a deep bowl and filled with water. Damaged, unripe, dried berries, leaves that need to be collected and removed come to the surface.

Then you need to prepare a baking sheet or a large cutting board, which you need to cover with a kitchen towel or paper. In a uniform layer, pour the cornel and leave for 1-2 days. Berries "reach" to the desired condition: their color becomes dark, and the structure is softer. Raw materials are ready for further processing, which means that dogwood jam in the slow cooker will be excellent.

Delicious dessert of shredded fruit

After the berries are softer and more pliable, it will be much easier to separate the stone. It is enough to take a sieve and thoroughly wipe the dogwood. Hard inclusions and bones lag behind, and the mass is ready for boiling.

Before you cook the dogwood jam in a slow cooker, add fruit puree and sugar to the bowl, add a glass of water (or pour the pre-boiled syrup). The amount of sugar per kilogram of cornels ranges from 600 g (for those who love jam with sour) to 1.2 kg (for sweets). For cooking, set the mode "Quenching" or "Cooking Soup" for 30 minutes. In some multicookers, there are even special functions, such as “Multipovar” or “Dessert”. They are also convenient to use in the preparation of sweet treats. In parallel, in the oven it is necessary to sterilize the jars in which the finished jam will be stored.

Set the function “Jam” or “Quenching” to 50-60 minutes. Then switch to the “Heating” mode for 30 minutes, then use “Boil” for 15 minutes.
