Preparation of ingredients

The following useful features of dogwood are noted:

Despite the undeniable benefits, there are contraindications, among which are nervous excitement and individual intolerance.

To make the delicacy healthy and tasty, it is important not only to cook it correctly, but also to pre-prepare the berries. First of all, it is recommended to choose ripe berries. Using green ones, the jam will turn out sour, and the overripe dogwood will spread. After washing, the berries must be dried well. In no case should the mass be digested, as it will wrinkle and become hard, lose its taste and color.

If you want to keep the maximum amount of vitamin C, then a gentle mode is used in cooking: the mass is brought to a boil and removed from the heat, cooling for five hours. To remove the seeds, you need to press the bottom of the glass on the berry. Due to the natural softness of the berry, the stone will quickly pop out.
