If you are not afraid of unusual experiments, I advise you to prepare a couple of jars of jam from pine cones. Such a blank will be useful when you want to surprise your loved ones with something new. And it's also a wonderful unobtrusive gift to friends.
Ingredients
- Pine Cones - 500 g
- Sugar - 800 g
- Water - 800 ml
- Lemon juice - 1 tbsp.l .
Step-by-step cooking recipe
Rinse and sort out the cones, fill with water and leave for 2-3 hours.
Cut the largest ones in half. Add sugar and water to the cones.
Bring everything to a boil and boil for 10 minutes over medium heat.
Let the cones cool completely.
Bring them to a boil again and cool again.
Bring to a boil for the third time and boil again for 10 minutes, and then cool.
For the fourth and fifth time, just bring to a boil, immediately remove from heat and cool.
Bring the jam to a boil for the sixth time, add lemon juice and roll the jam into sterile jars.
Cones can be left or removed before rolling - the cones themselves do not eat.
