How nice it is on a cold winter evening to open a jar of your favorite jam and enjoy sweets with tea. It is not only very tasty, but also useful for the body, because jam contains many useful substances (especially if it is mashed berries with sugar), which we lack so much in winter. Preservation for the winter is quite popular in our country. Many experienced housewives make jam from cherries, raspberries, strawberries, apples and many other fruits. We will offer you 5 interesting recipes for fruit preservation that you probably haven't tried yet.

Melon jam

Melon can be used to make a very tasty and delicate jam. Peel the melon and cut it into thin slices 3-5 cm long. The slices should then be blanched in boiling water for 5 minutes, then quickly cooled in cold water. After that, the melon should be poured with hot syrup and infused for 5-6 hours, then boiled for 10-20 minutes, after which it should be left for another 3-4 hours and boiled until fully cooked. At the end of jam preparation, you can add a little lemon juice.
