White cherry jam with walnuts
Oriental desserts and jams are the pride of Azerbaijani housewives. Many oriental tales describe the abundance of sweets and desserts with which the shahs and sultans surprised their guests. Jams in Azerbaijan are made from almost all fruits, berries and even eggplant, tomatoes, pumpkin, watermelon and melon peels. And what aromatic jam is made from rose petals in Azerbaijan! Making white cherry jam with walnuts is painstaking work, but worth it. It turns out incredibly tasty and beautiful!
Ingredients
- 2 kg white cherries
- 1.6 kg of sugar
- 200 g shelled walnuts
STEP-BY-STEP COOKING RECIPE
Step 1
Remove the stalks from the sorted cherries. Using a special tool or hairpin, pull out a bone from each berry.
Step 2
Cut the walnuts into pieces about the size of a cherry pit.
Step 3
Insert a piece of walnut into each berry instead of a stone. Put the prepared berries in a basin.
Step 4
When all the cherries are ready, cover the berries with sugar and leave for several hours. Cherries should give quite a lot of juice - so much that the juice completely covers the fruit. If there is little juice, sprinkle 100–150 ml of water evenly over the contents of the basin. It is better not to mix cherries with sugar, sometimes you can only slightly shake the basin or scroll.
Step 5
Then place the bowl of cherries over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and simmer for 15 minutes. Roll the basin and remove from heat, cool completely.
Step 6
Repeat this procedure (bring to a boil, scroll, remove from heat, cool completely) two more times for a total of 45 minutes of jam: three times 15 minutes each.
Step 7
When the jam has completely cooled down for the third time, you need to check if it is ready. Place a drop on a saucer and separate with a spoon. If the drop does not flow from two parts back into one, then the jam is ready. If not, cook again in the same way. Pour the jam into prepared jars, close the lids.
