Category: Blanks
Ingredients
Unpeeled lemons 2 pcs.
Apples 1 kg
Bay leaf (optional) 2 pcs.
Blueberries 600 g
Gelatin sugar 1 kg
Butter 15 g
Cooking method

1. Pour the juice of the lemons into a saucepan and add the finely chopped zest. Chop the apples, add to the lemons and pour 800 ml. water.
2. Add bay leaves and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, close the pan and cook the contents for 1 hour, stirring so that the mass does not burn.
3. Pass the cooked fruits through a sieve into a large saucepan. Add blueberries there and bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. As soon as the mixture boils, immediately reduce the heat, add sugar and stir until it is completely dissolved.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil again, let it simmer for a while until it thickens. Stir in the oil. Fill the jars immediately and close the airtight lids.

Note
Sandwich paste is a homogeneous thick mass that is prepared differently than confiture and jelly. The sugar content can be relatively high, like in jam, and quite low, if it's a dietary product. Many pastes are sweetened with honey instead of sugar.

Blueberries, which have an unmatched aroma, contain a small amount of pectin, therefore they do not solidify well during cooking. But if you cook it with apples and lemons, you get a sandwich paste of the desired thickness.
Bon Appetit !

Thank you, I have a lot of blueberries at my dacha (we are in the forest) !! I harvest it in traditional ways, because this berry does not become boring like others. But I will not give up the exotic !!
If I do, I'll tell you about my impressions

RybkA
No need to chop blueberries! Butter dissolves the foam that forms during cooking jam / jam / confiture (especially if it is difficult to remove it due to pieces of fruit floating to the surface), etc. and makes the taste of the piece more intense. Gelatin sugar can be substituted:
one). Ordinary sugar + "Zhelfix" ("Quittin", "Confiture" and others like them)
2). Plain sugar + pectin + citric acid

Cubic , and what is the traditional way of preparing blueberries?

RybkA, well, rub it with sugar and in the freezer, then something like sherbet turns out to be cold (there is quite a lot of pectin in blueberries and, when rubbed with sugar, it becomes a little jelly-like). If this business is slightly boiled down - an excellent preparation of filling for pies.
Still delicious very compotes blueberries + strawberries

[Krosh, Cubic]

Krosh, Cubic , thanks for the clarification!
Crochet, it turns out in the puree will come across small berries. I like this consistency when there is practically no syrup.
Cubic , we now have a sea of ​​blueberries, take it - I don't want to.
I have no way to freeze, I still only dream of a separate freezer.
But you can try boiling it down, we need pies later

Years ... ts ago we had a fruitful summer for blueberries and health, so that we could get there and collect them. What I did not do from it, but most of all I liked this method - pour blueberries into a clean 3-liter jar, prepare syrup at the rate of 1 glass of sugar per liter of water, pour the berries with boiling syrup to the top, so that when the lid is closed, part of the syrup will pour out , immediately roll up the metal can. lid, turn over and wrap with a blanket, a fur coat for a day. in winter you will have almost fresh berries, very tasty.

the recipe is excellent! did it many times. then we like to make blueberry tea out of syrup .... Only at the same time it is not open for long, it is better to do it in small jars.
