    Jam “Vitamin mix”

    I love blueberries very much, but the jam made from this berry turns out to be somewhat rustic and bland. To enrich the taste of the dessert, I try to add other berries to the stem.
    The combination of blueberries with remontant strawberries and garden raspberries seemed especially successful to me. The jam turns out fragrant, has an excellent structure - it is not thick and not liquid, the aromas and taste of the three berries complement each other perfectly, maintaining a bright individuality.
    Ingredients: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries - 0,5 kg each, sugar -1,5 kg, vodka - 3 tbsp. spoons.

    Sort the berries, you can lay them out on a baking sheet to air (I try to pick them in dry weather, so I never wash them). Then carefully transfer to a bowl or pan and sprinkle with vodka: this is my grandmother’s proven way to preserve the color and integrity of the berries. Sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar and leave overnight to allow the berries to release their juice. Then bring the berry mass to a boil and simmer over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Repeat this procedure 3-4 times with an interval of 10-12 hours.
    After the last settling, place a bowl (pan) with jam on medium heat, boil, cook for about 7-10 minutes, skimming off the foam regularly. The readiness of the jam is checked in the usual way - by dripping it on a saucer. If the drop does not spread, the jam is ready.

    Let it cool (hot jam will cause condensation and it may become moldy), then put it into sterilized jars. Store at room temperature.

    We are pensioners, we have a summer cottage of 6 acres. This spring, two bushes of garden blueberries were purchased at the Dachnik store in the spring. We were told how to plant them, we all did so. They started growing. And what to do next? How, with what and when to feed them, when to water? We will be very grateful for your advice.
