Description

Recipe for 10 kg of jam.

Ingredients

  • Eggplants - 24 pieces
  • Sugar - 5 lbs
  • Activated Baking Soda - 2 teaspoons
  • Water - 3 qt
  • Vanillin - 0.5 teaspoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel the eggplants, remove the stems, leaving the calyx. Cut each eggplant lengthwise with the calyx intact. Puncture the pieces in several places with a fork. While preparing, keep the eggplants in cold water under a lid to prevent discoloration.

Step 2

Dissolve the baking soda in a glass of hot water, then mix it with 7 glasses of cold water.

Step 3

Place the eggplant pieces in the soda solution, cover with a lid, and leave for 5–6 hours. Remove the eggplants from the solution and rinse them under running water 5–6 times.

Step 4

Add half of the sugar to a pot for cooking the jam, pour in 6 glasses of water, and simmer on low heat for 10–15 minutes.

Step 5

Add the eggplants to the boiling syrup and cook for 15 minutes over medium heat. Remove the jam from heat and let it sit for 12 hours.

Step 6

Add the remaining sugar to the jam, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to the minimum, and cook the jam for about 3 hours. 2–3 minutes before the end of cooking, add the vanillin.

Step 7

Remove the jam from heat, let it cool slightly, pour it into clean dry jars, and seal.
