Birch sap (Belarusian motives)

Ingredients

sugar 9st. l.
lemon acid 0.5. h. l.
oranges 2 slices for 3 l. bank
caraway 1 tsp

Cooking method

  • So the time has come for harvesting birch sap. Since I do not like all kinds of kvass from this juice, I roll it into 3-liter jars. That's all we need
  • Birch sap (Belarusian motives)
  • and of course birch sap. My husband did his best and brought as much as a 40 liter canister.
  • Fill a 5-liter saucepan with birch sap, put it on the stove, wait until it boils, and at the same time put 3 liter jars and lids to be sterilized.
  • Birch sap (Belarusian motives)
  • When the juice boils, take a spoon and remove the foam and small debris, if any
  • Birch sap (Belarusian motives)
  • Then add 9 tbsp. l. sugar and 0.5 tsp. citric acid and stir thoroughly, let it boil again. Put tsp in the jar. without a slide of caraway seeds and fill with juice. We roll up. I already put 3 slices of orange in the next jar and fill it with juice. This is how I get part of the juice with caraway seeds, part with orange. I warn you right away that I don't like very sweet juice, so for yourself it is better to try the juice for the amount of sugar beforehand.
  • For the first time, I tried birch sap with caraway seeds made by one of our local greenhouse plants. I liked it very much - it perfectly quenches thirst, refreshes and invigorates. Since then I've been rolling up a lot of juice with caraway seeds.
  • P.S. And while I was busy with the juice all day, my husband made me such an onion-garlic tree
  • Birch sap (Belarusian motives)
  • Now for Easter we will be with fresh herbs!
  • Huge gratitude to Tumanchik for the help in making the recipe!

Thanks for the recipe you need, all ingenious is simple !!!!
Tumanchik
Well done Tanyusha

I propose to switch to you!

... Gorgeous recipe! And what packages are familiar and dear! Thanks for the recipe. Definitely bookmarked. Girls, did you know that birch sap increases the amount of breast milk amazingly. When I was feeding the youngest, my husband dragged me with boxes. And most importantly, it does not cause allergies. I heard about caraway seeds, but I could not try. And they were looking for it, since cumin helps children with tummy problems. And I've heard a lot about the taste of juice with caraway seeds. Bookmark the recipe! I look forward to a new arrival of juice!

We put a linen napkin on the saucepan where the juice is prepared, and pour it through it with a ladle. No trash remains
Thank you for the cumin, let's try

And a little tip: text and pictures for good display should not be placed on the same line. I've corrected
vedmacck
Well, Belarusian girls! When I was in my fifties, I learned that I don't know anything about birch sap at all!
Thank you!

Tumanchik, Ir, do not be upset that you did not find it. The beneficial effects of cumin on babies have been greatly exaggerated!

There are household men! But you, too, have to correspond, what kind of blanks you make!
Orshanochka
Tumanchik,
We have here in the local newspaper an article about birch sap - well, in the end, almost ginseng. And I just love it in canned form since childhood. And with caraway seeds, my most ...
Chef,
I know that it is necessary to filter, but the first batch was just absolutely crystal clear, there was not even foam. Thanks for the tips and corrections - I'm not a magician - I'm just learning. Thanks to Tumanchik, for explaining how yes that. She couldn't have done it herself.
SvetaI,
This is, to be honest, the second batch of 40L canisters. Now it is raining - you cannot collect the juice. Although still going (in the sense of juice). The rainy season will end, and if there is juice, I will roll up while I stand on my feet. My husband put himself 20 liters of kvass on raisins and wine yeast - but I don't like that.
I also really wanted to play the maple tree this year, but they missed the moment - it starts before the birch one.
Orshanochka
Here again a batch of juice arrived. Today I will make caraway seeds again and with sweets (lemon).

Oh, exactly - I heard something like a sucking candy is thrown into the jar - for the scent! Well done, but I no longer fall ... but sorry.
Marika33
Why boil the juice? there will be nothing left in it.
It can be sterilized in a jar for about 20 minutes and it costs very well. I have a few cans left, I'll have to pour it out, they cost three years. But I close with lemon wedges, half a lemon per jar.

Instead of citric acid?
Marika33
Yes, Chief, lemon is better than chemical citric acid. I cut it in slices.
I carefully filter the juice so that nothing gets into it, I preheat it a little, up to 60 degrees, no more to reduce the sterilization time and set it to sterilize for 20 minutes, seal the jar and into the basement.
And I also make kvass from it, I like it more.
Orshanochka
I apologize for not going into Temku - there was a lot of work.
marika33,
I also decided to roll up tomorrow's party with lemon.
Why boil the juice? there will be nothing left in it.
Well, then it is useless to cook jam too - nothing will remain there. I still have a different opinion - something will remain.
And I also make kvass from it, I like it more.
The most useful of course is fresh and kvass. But the taste and color of all markers are different. I already wrote that I hate kvass.
Marika33
OrshanochkaWhen the juice is boiled, vitamins are completely lost, only minerals remain, 20 percent.
Tatyana, and nothing useful remains in jam. It is so for pleasure. And also, considering that sugar is now a solid poison, then draw your own conclusions. But knowing this, I also make jam, only I don't cook it, but soak the berries with syrup and only from strawberries and zucchini.

Marika33
Beets are grown entirely on fertilizers.
vedmacck
Marinamaybe beets after all?
Can you please tell me what is grown without fertilizers?
Marika33
Tatyana, of course, beets, fixed, I'm in a hurry. Yes, now nothing is grown without fertilizers. But beets have a special place.
I know that such sugar is not accepted in Moscow, but is it all? And on the periphery, he is so all.
We hardly use sugar, we buy a lot of honey.
vedmacck
Marina, and honey? Do you really think that bees fly around fertilized fields? And also unscrupulous producers feed them with just this, as you think, dangerous sugar.
So, being afraid of everything, you won't want to live at all
Marika33
Tatyana, we buy honey from a beekeeper we know, he sows specially fields with phacelia and buckwheat. Doesn't process them. I don’t know whether he feeds bees with sugar or not, not everyone does this. You can feed them, and only then lose them. Hope he's not doing this. Before we found it, we bought it from different "beekeepers", their honey cannot even be called honey, it is not clear why.
Fertilized fields do not bloom, there is nothing for bees to do. Now there are many fields with sunflowers, they are probably being cultivated. But honey is not tasty from it, it is immediately visible, we do not buy this.
More about sugar, when we moved to the village, the beets were harvested in November-December, and now they are harvested in September. They also say that those tractor drivers who work in the beet fields quickly burn out from cancer.
I'm not afraid of everything, just almost eliminated sugar from the diet, replacing it with honey. The rest is almost all grown by ourselves.
vedmacck
They say that chickens are milked ... Everyone acts according to his own understanding ...
Marika33
It happens. I don’t know the locals, but they name specific names.
Orshanochka
marika33,
Well, here I will argue with you a lot, because my husband and I are engaged in the supply of plant protection products wholesale. And I can tell you for sure that, according to your principle, then it costs nothing to buy from the store. You can’t imagine how many kolkhozes bring in all kinds of crap. And how much farmers take and contribute according to the principle, the more they contributed, the less work with weeds and diseases they had! And for the same reason, I spent the whole last year wrestling on a newly developed site without dressing agents and grains, and no manure! !!! My mother-in-law, the kingdom of heaven to her (a magnificent woman) never took from my brother's husband's agarodnina - an agronomist's wife - and she always used all the chemicals in full. At our former dacha, apples were never processed - the diseased branches were simply broken off and burned. Yes, the harvest is less. But we knew WHAT we were eating. So fertilization is not the worst option. And of several evils, you have to choose the lesser.
Maybe the chef will forgive me, which is not on the topic, but I have never fed domestic chickens with compound feed. Only wheat, barley, mash (potatoes, nettles, cabbage, carrots, pumpkin) and sand. Sometimes fishing waste remains (heads, fins, entrails, live bait in the mash). But eggs are COMBINATION. Our youngest son NEVER ate store-bought eggs, but as for his own farm, he will just let him. (We do not produce for sale, only for our family)
Earlier, before the outbreak of African swine fever, we bought domestic pork in the market. Sometimes they took live weight from friends and cut everything themselves, but only then were they sure what they were feeding the piglet. My husband grew up in the countryside (I was a pure city dweller). We go to the market - the husband will run through the rows and say - Today there is no domestic pork. After the outbreak of ASF, it was forbidden to keep pigs in private yards. And we stopped eating pork. Because, those Landrace (this breed), which are grown in our pig farms, cannot be eaten if you are used to home. Lard in the pan does not fry, does not give fat, shoots and tries to spit out of the pan. You will ask why I am so wrapped up I do not keep my own (six months ago I was allowed). And the work is such that I cannot give them enough attention. These are not chickens or ducks. Tied to pigs around the clock.And besides work, we go fishing for a couple of days. I'll go to retire with pleasure.
Tumanchik
Tanya, what a fine fellow you are! And my husband is wonderful! Yes, such a family of hardworking crisis is not terrible!
Orshanochka
Tumanchik,
That's right, Irinka. We are not afraid of the crisis. Here's another guinea fowl I want to have. I really want rabbits, but again, because of work, I can not pay enough attention to them, as well as to pigs.

Hello . I didn't quite understand how to sterilize it for 20 minutes? (Is it pouring juice into jars and keeping it in a water bath for another 20 minutes? Or how?
Marika33
verchik, yes, that's right. I keep a three-liter jar for 20 minutes in water close to a boil.
Orshanochka
Well, now a new season has begun for us to collect birch trees. Yesterday I saw birch sap with rose hips in the store. Why don't I do it? The rosehip is dried, the birch is harvested. No sooner said than done. And not only with rose hips, as usual with caraway seeds and oranges. In the area where I now live (and we moved here 3 years ago), it is customary to roll birch sap with dried apples. At first I did not understand why all the neighbors are asking for dried apples (and how do they know that I stocked up on them like at the fair?) But what's the matter. Today I managed to roll 33 liters with caraway seeds, rose hips and oranges.

Tumanchik
Tanyusha, how great! grab a couple of jars for me, I'll break out to you - there will be something to drink
Orshanochka
Tumanchik, And what is their havAT, I always roll a lot, so that we are always in stock and waiting. This year, in general, bloopers-birches grow 30 m from the balcony - went out in slippers, poured out of jars and into the kitchen-relax prepare.
Olima
Tanya, thanks for the recipe with caraway seeds. I have been rolling birch juice with lemons and oranges for a long time, but for the first time this year I made a couple of cans for testing with caraway seeds. ... I really like caraway seeds in bread, I think that I will also like the juice with it
Orshanochka
Olima, Olenka to health! The most interesting thing is that practically no one in Belarus knows about birch sap with caraway seeds. But I really like it! This year the juice came out quite late this year. Tomorrow, just in the morning, I'll go take the first try, so to speak.
