Procedura

1. Sort the aronia berries, wash them, and scald with boiling water. Cut the apples² into wedges and remove the cores.

3. Place 150 g aronia berries and 350 g apple² wedges in the jar and pour in boiling water up to the neck (about 1.7 l water). Cover with the lid and leave for 15 minutes.

4. Drain the water into a saucepan, bring it back to a boil, and pour it over the fruit a second time for 10 minutes.

5. Drain the water into a saucepan (about 1.5 l), add 300 g sugar³ and 2 g citric acid, bring to a boil, and cook the syrup for 3 minutes.

6. Pour the boiling syrup over the fruit right to the rim and immediately seal with the lid.

7. Turn the jar upside down, wrap it, and leave to cool for 24 hours. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months, and keep an opened jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
