Jam made from fruit juice and pulp - a very juicy jam for the winter

One way to prepare a fragrant, citrusy treat with a pleasant sour taste is to use freshly squeezed orange juice with pulp.

From there, pour the liquid into a deep frying pan or saucepan, turn on the heat and bring everything to a boil. As soon as this happens, boil the orange mixture to half the nominal value.

Next, add 250-300 g of table sugar, a pinch of salt and cook again over low heat for 1-1.5 hours, stirring constantly.

As soon as the liquid changes its color from bright orange to brown, pour in 1-2 tbsp. l. lemon juice, stir and cook for about 15 minutes, skimming off any foam that forms. To make the consistency thicker, you can add a little pectin or other natural thickener at the final stage of preparation.

Hot jam is poured into clean and pre-sterilized glass jars, the lids are tightly closed and, after cooling, sent for winter storage.

Rolling quince with oranges - a recipe for a healthy and tasty dessert

The combination of tart and viscous quince with aromatic and sour orange can be called “for everyone.” But the jam from these two fruits turns out amazing and tastes very juicy. The ingredients used are only fresh fruits, regular sugar and a little ground cinnamon as an additive.

Quinces are pre-sorted, only ripe fruits without rotten or damaged areas are selected, the same applies to oranges. For 3 large quince fruits, take 1 equally dense citrus. The proportion can be varied according to taste, but the classic recipe suggests just such a combination.

Cinnamon can be used both in ground form and in incense sticks. The main thing is that it is also fresh and as spicy as possible. When the fruit is washed and dried, the quince is cut into several parts, the seeds and core are removed, then cut into small, uniform cubes.

The finished mixture is sorted into clean, pre-sterilized jars and sealed with lids. Next, turn the resulting rolls over, let them cool and put them on the shelves or in the refrigerator. And in winter, such juicy jam is served with fresh pastries, pancakes or tea.
