Pine cone jam An excellent and tasty jam made from pine, cedar or fir cones is already a traditional dessert of the Caucasus and Siberia, which has a beneficial effect in overcoming various diseases. Sometimes, because of the texture, they also talk about pine honey. All you need for cooking is young green cones.
The ratio of cones to sugar - 1: 1. Carefully clean the cones under hot water and place them in a stainless steel pan. They contain a lot of resin, which can destroy enameled containers during boiling. Add sugar and bring to a boil. Cool to room temperature and repeat 1x-2x until the cones turn brown and become soft. You can also add lemon, vanilla, cinnamon and other spices, as well as black currants and cranberries. Prepare a truly valuable treat, harvest in clean places. Go to the pine forest, located away from highways, industrial facilities, polluted public roads. The period of raw material collection depends on the climatic conditions and the area of growth of the paddle. Speaking of warm regions, perform the procedure in late spring (May 20-30). In case the cones need to be picked up in colder climates, the collection is done in mid-July. To prepare the dish should be selected only young ears, which barely turned 12 months. Such seedlings in the first year of ripening are maximally saturated with beneficial enzymes, they are juicy, clean. The cones are dry for two to three years and do not have most of the vitamins. In addition to the above basic harvesting requirements, the appearance of the raw materials must also be carefully considered. So, remove the seeds from those trees that are not hit by insects. If you notice obvious signs of rot, discard such cones. Collect only light green buds, soft, unopened with a pronounced flaky and sticky layer (resin). Try to pierce the seed nails: if it gives way, you have chosen a good option. Special attention is paid to the size of the pine cones. The diameter of the trough should not exceed 4 cm, length - up to 45 mm. Cones suitable for cooking, delicacies, do not have a white plaque. They are sticky, juicy, undamaged. Other signs indicate the presence of tree disease. In fact, 1 kg is enough to prepare meals for a family of four. pine cones. After collecting the cones, wash them. Throw in a sieve or strainer, immerse in a sink with cold water. Remove all debris and damaged samples, dry on towels.

Ovo nisam nikada jeo, a ti?
Nisam al moram probat. Znas da ja svašta moram da izprpbam inače nisam sretna. Naletila sam danas na jednu rusku stranicu i svasta novo sam naučila. I imam ideja sada milijun u glavi.
ovo mi je skroz strano, mada siguran sam da ima zanimljiv ukus, rado bih probao, ali verujem da kada je ovako nesto u pitanju da nema ravnodusnih, ili ti se svidja ili ti se ne svidja
bas tako ima i marmelada iz lubenice, iz jabuka ja moram to sve probat. Znas da ne volim slatko jesti al volim radit neke čudne stvari. Srednja Rusija - džem od ogrozda Ogrozd se često naziva „sjevernim grožđem“. Legion Media Zbog svog okusa i otpornosti na hladnoću, ova se vrsta voća u Rusiji često naziva "sjevernim grožđem". Rusi obično koriste ogrozd za džemove i marmelade. Priprema: Omjer voća i šećera: 1: 1. Odrežite stabljike, operite i osušite voće. Stavite voće u tavu i dodajte pola šalice vode, pustite da zavrije. Ako želimo da se ogrozd ne raspadne, probušimo ga drvenom čačkalicom. Nakon vrenja dodajte šećer i ostavite 2-3 sata. Ponovno zakuhajte i kuhajte 30 minuta. Ovaj se džem također izvrsno slaže s narančama (trebaju nam dvije na 1 kg ogrozda) i orasima (100 g oraha na 1 kg ogrozda).
Vrlo interesantno. Mogu zamisliti kako ima pikantan, opor miris smole taj namaz. Čuo sam za med i sirup od borovih iglica. To više zbog zdravlja.
da i ja mislim da to nešto posebno..probat ču pa javljam rezultate.
Pričali smo ljetos o slatkom od cherry paradižika. :) To bi se moglo pokušati.
Super in zelo zdravo
I did not know that this can be used in nutrition. I know that pins contain many useful ingredients, and i know that some folsk are making various elixirs and creams form those, but jam? I personally think that for us, who are not used to this, it is not safe to consume jam made out of pins.
Iskreno, ovo prvi put vidim i cujem...Ocigledno da mnoge stvari i blagodeti prirode ne znamo....Ne znam kako ce ispasti ali cu definitivno pokusati ovo da napravim.
