Sposób przygotowania

1. Sort and rinse the aronia berries, then blanch in boiling water for 5 minutes and drain in a colander.

2. Wash the apples², peel and core them, then cut into 1 cm cubes.

3. Make the syrup: bring 400 g sugar³ and 100 ml water to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, then pour over the berries and apples² and leave for 6 hours.

4. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, skimming off the foam, then let cool for 6 hours.

5. Cook a second time for 10 minutes, then check for doneness: a drop of syrup on a cold saucer should hold its shape and not run.

6. Sterilize a 0.5 l jar and lid: steam the jar or heat it in the oven at 120 °C for 15 minutes, and boil the lid for 5 minutes, then ladle the hot jam into the sterile 0.5 l jar up to the shoulders and seal at once; turn the jar upside down, wrap it, and leave to cool for 24 hours.

7. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months, and keep an opened jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
