This morning, over a cup of aromatic coffee, I admired the view from the window. I look at the viburnum that is growing right under our window, and so many memories always come flooding back... I immediately remember my grandmother, our yard, and unforgettable evenings with tea and always something tasty. Among other things, my grandmother often put viburnum on our table. We'll talk about it today.
Most of us are accustomed to thinking that the time for preparations lasts only in the summer. But this is not so! Right now, at the beginning of November, you, dear readers, can make healthy, tasty viburnum preparations for the winter in the form of preserves, marmalade, and marshmallows.
Just imagine opening a jar of viburnum on a cold frosty evening and enjoying its unique taste. But it’s not only appetizing, but also healthy! I would like to give the floor to regular blog reader Yulia Khoroshilova. She will share her experience and favorite recipes for preparing viburnum for the winter.
Good afternoon, readers of Irina’s blog! It is simply impossible to overestimate the benefits of red viburnum. A jar of jam from its fruits will become a real must have in winter time. At the same time, it is not necessary to make preparations for health purposes. Viburnum berries have an indescribable taste: bright, rich, with a slight bitterness. I agree with Irina that there is nothing better than coming home from the creaking cold and warming up with a mug of aromatic tea with viburnum jam. Therefore, I invite you, dear readers, to familiarize yourself with the simple and best recipes for preparing viburnum for the winter.
But I would like to start with the fact that viburnum (lat. Viburnum) is a plant that has been used in herbal medicine for a long time. There are about 160 species of shrubs, distributed mostly in the northern hemisphere. Many species of this plant are only ornamental flowering shrubs. The fruits of red viburnum can be used as food for preventive purposes. various diseases(mostly colds).
My childhood memories with viburnum are associated with the first snow that fell and the bullfinches that flock to eat the berries. In Ukraine, viburnum is a favorite plant and represents natural beauty. In spring, its flowers in the form of fluffy umbrellas resemble a bride’s headdress, and in autumn the plant pleases the eye with bright red fruits that hang on the branches until frost. In ancient times, the plant was called a “wedding tree”, so it was decorated with branches. festive tables and dishes. And according to a long-standing custom, the bride gave her betrothed a towel with plant patterns, embroidered herself. But viburnum is not only bright berries, but also a wonderful medicinal plant.
The health benefits of viburnum are achieved due to its unique composition. One small berry contains a double dose of vitamin C, which citrus fruits are rich in.
In addition, the fruit contains about 30% invert sugar (a chemical mixture of fructose and glucose). This substance is the main component of natural honey. Trimoline has less effect on the body than pure sucrose, so it is much healthier to eat viburnum.
Red viburnum berries contain a large amount of pectin, which makes it easy to make jelly that is beneficial for the walls of the gastrointestinal tract.
This plant is rich in vitamins A, E, P, K and minerals (phosphorus, iodine, magnesium, strontium, calcium, vanadium), essential oils. Talking about nutritional value, I would like to emphasize that 100g of viburnum contains only 28 kcal. This means that you can enjoy healthy berries without harming your figure, which cannot but please female representatives. Therefore, I recommend preparing viburnum for the winter.
Both berries and leaves of viburnum are used in medicine. Doctors are convinced that she is excellent natural remedy solutions to the following health problems:
When to pick viburnum berries? Before getting acquainted with the basic recipes for harvesting viburnum for the winter, I would like to remind you about the best time to pick berries. It is recommended to wait until the first frost, when the fruits of the plant are filled with juice and freeze slightly.
Few people know that such advice is also explained by the fact that under the influence low temperatures The bitterness of viburnum disappears and its taste becomes more refined and pleasant. Therefore, if suddenly your friends say that they don’t like viburnum, it means that they are simply picking it ahead of time.
Another indicator that the fruits are ripe is their bright blood-red hue (without green veins). Viburnum can be frozen, dried, made into preserves and jellies, jams, and juices.
Everyone knows that raw berries retain all the vitamins. essential oils and macronutrients. Therefore, first of all, I was looking for recipes for preparing viburnum for the winter without cooking. In this case, jelly from the fresh fruits of the plant is the healthiest, simplest and fastest. This recipe is suitable even for beginners who have not yet learned the secrets of canning.
To make jelly from viburnum for the winter without cooking, you need to sort out picked berries and pour boiling water over them. At this stage it is important to remember little secret, which will significantly simplify the cooking process itself.
Viburnum fruits must be kept for at least 5 minutes in hot water. This time is enough for the skin to become soft and the berries to crush easily. At the same time, remember that if you keep viburnum in boiling water, it will not harden later.
After 5 minutes, you need to transfer the fruits to a sieve and start crushing them with a spoon. At a ratio of 1:1, add sugar to the berry puree and stir until it is completely dissolved. Pour the resulting thick mass into jars and leave for further hardening.
There is no need to cook it, because due to the large amount of pectin in viburnum, the berry puree will become jelly-like. naturally. The finished jelly can be stored in the refrigerator for about 3 months. I'm sure it will run out much earlier, so stock up for future use.
Raw mashed viburnum jelly can also be mixed with honey in a 1:2 ratio. You can read about the healing properties of such a recipe in an article previously published on the blog -.
When I was actively involved in sports, I needed to eat every three hours. Unfortunately, I didn’t always have time to eat properly. And it was important for me to find Alternative option a snack that will be healthy, nutritious and, of course, tasty. Since it was hard for me to give up sweets, I decided to look for a recipe made from all-natural ingredients.
Homemade marshmallow is precisely that unique product that simultaneously charges the body with energy, protects against stress, and lifts the mood.
All this is achieved through fiber, natural ingredients, and high concentrations of vitamin C.
Preparing such a delicacy is quite simple. To do this, you need to thoroughly rinse the collected viburnum berries and pour boiling water over them for 4-5 minutes. After this, the fruits must be cooked until they become soft.
Boiled viburnum berries need to be rubbed through a sieve to avoid any seeds in the marshmallow, and sugar or honey should be added in a 1:1 ratio. The resulting mixture must be boiled until it acquires the consistency of liquid dough (as for pancakes). For the final stage, you need to cover a baking sheet with a silicone mat and transfer the marshmallow onto it. Now all you have to do is be patient and wait for the berry dessert to be ready. The marshmallow should be dried in the oven for 5 hours, remembering that the heat should be low. For better ventilation, I recommend leaving the oven door ajar.
The degree of readiness is very easy to determine: the marshmallow does not stick to your fingers.
The cooled mixture can be cut into slices or rolled into rolls, which are very convenient to take with you as a useful and healthy snack.
Want to throw a tea party that would make even the Mad Hatter jealous? Then you definitely need to make ground viburnum with sugar for the winter. This recipe is no different from the method of making berry jelly. But there is one little trick.
To avoid getting frozen jelly, you need to put the ground berries and sugar into jars and immediately put them in the refrigerator, without waiting for the sugar to dissolve.
For colds and debilitating dry coughs, tea with the addition of one tablespoon of viburnum jam helps a lot. This drink should be taken 3-4 times a day. For fever, you can add 3 tablespoons of honey to tea with berries.
This tea with viburnum helps to quickly cope with headaches. I know from myself how relaxing a cup of aromatic tea with mixed berries can be after a hard day at work. Perhaps this is an excellent anti-stress remedy that can only be compared to scratching the soft tummy of a purring cat.
Be sure to watch the video about preparing viburnum for the winter to add to tea, which will reveal all the nuances of the recipe
Harvesting viburnum for the winter at home in many families becomes a real ritual. For example, my grandfather himself sorted and washed the picked berries. The grandmother then poured water over the viburnum fruits and simmered them over low heat until a homogeneous mass was obtained. All the grandchildren, young and old, took turns stirring berry jam on the stove under the watchful supervision of their grandfather.
At this time, sugar syrup was being prepared. To do this, the grandmother mixed sugar and water in equal proportions in a separate pan and brought the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. The result was a clear, thick syrup.
Grandmother mixed the berries with the sugar mixture and cooked for about 30 minutes over low heat. She cooked and drove us away when we tried to scoop fragrant jam from the pan with a spoon. According to the grandmother, the most important thing is to remove the foam in time and stir slowly regularly. The finished hot jam was poured into sterilized jars and sent to the shelves in the cellar. And then we all waited for the treasured hour, when the cold weather would come and grandma would bring in a jar of the treasured berry jam.
This is what my family has classic recipe making viburnum jam for the winter. Considering modern kitchen appliances, for many housewives a multicooker has become an excellent household assistant. Some of my friends don’t limit themselves to standard dishes and even cook jam in a slow cooker. Why don't you try it too?
There are so many sweets sold in supermarkets these days. I have no doubt, they are all very tasty. But is this useful, especially for young children who often suffer from allergic reactions to food dyes and aromatic fragrances?

Hello dear readers. Today we will talk about viburnum. Lately people often turn to traditional proven recipes. Traditional treatment efficient and effective.
I have proven recipes for preparing viburnum for the winter, which our family has been using for decades. Red viburnum berries are valued in folk medicine for their medicinal properties and unique composition.
Delicious marmalade, jelly, pastille, jam are made from viburnum fruits for the winter, ground with sugar, prepared with honey, fruit drinks, compote, and juice are prepared from the fruits.
At home, it’s easy enough to make delicious preparations from viburnum berries for the winter.
Now the viburnum bushes are burning with their bright red clusters in the rays of the autumn sun. Viburnum branches tied into bunches are sold at the market. We buy viburnum at the market, and every year we prepare tasty and healthy medicine for the winter.
In winter we prepare tea from viburnum, which is the first remedy for colds, fever, fatigue, and weakness. This delicious, hot and aromatic viburnum tea is enjoyed by both children and adults.
It’s not for nothing that they say that viburnum is taken instead of tablets. This is not an unfounded expression, because it really is so.
During the period of viral and colds, viburnum tea is a real salvation. Now let’s start preparing preparations for the winter.
When harvesting viburnum, I would like to pay attention to the fact that the berries should be harvested after the first frost. At this time, red viburnum berries lose their bitterness.
If you prepare viburnum with sugar for the winter before the first frost, the taste of raw jam may be a little bitter. But many people like the pleasant bitterness that is characteristic of berries.
If you want to remove the bitterness, then you need to freeze the viburnum berries. Place them in the freezer for about 1 hour. The berries will taste more pleasant, and the bitterness will no longer be felt.
Recipes for making viburnum for the winter are quite simple. There are recipes for pureed viburnum, and you can puree viburnum with a pit or without a pit, as well as a recipe for preparing viburnum with sugar without cooking.
You can increase or decrease the amount of ingredients in recipes as you wish.
Sugar products are stored quite well. We store viburnum with sugar in the refrigerator.
Even if you sprinkle layers of sugar on the viburnum berries, it will already be good preparation for the winter. This will prevent damage to the berries and preserve them. beneficial features.
It is usually sold tied in bundles. When choosing viburnum on the market, be sure to pay attention to appearance berries You should not buy crushed or crushed berries, as well as damaged berries.
Ingredients:
500 grams of viburnum is without branches, only berries. After you have sorted the berries, you need to weigh them. You can increase or decrease the proportions, it all depends on how much viburnum you have.
Choose clean and beautiful branches. Before purchasing, you can taste a couple of viburnum berries. If you are satisfied with everything, then buy viburnum.
Before preparing raw viburnum jam, be sure to wash the berries. We pour the berries in a bowl with running water. You need to carefully wash the berries.
Place the berries in a colander to drain off excess liquid. Additionally, the branches can be dried on a paper towel.
Now we separate the viburnum berries from the branches. At the same time, we remove damaged berries. If you have a lot of viburnum berries, then this process will take some time.
We grind the viburnum in a container, it all depends on the number of berries. I took a saucepan, as practice shows, it’s convenient to grind berries in it.
Crush the berries with a wooden rolling pin or a “masher” for puree.
Now about sugar. Sugar is added to viburnum in a 1:1 ratio. This is usually the standard norm. But we add a little more, for 500 grams of viburnum I added 750 grams of sugar.
I grind it with the skin and seeds so that all the beneficial vitamins are preserved. I use this viburnum to make tea in winter. After I brew the tea, I strain it through a strainer. The bones and skin remain in the strainer.
Pour sugar into the berries and continue to crush the berries with a rolling pin. I repeat that I use the berries along with the seeds and skins.
Leave the berries at room temperature for a while to dissolve the sugar.
I put the berries, ground with sugar, into sterile jars and close them with sterile lids. I store the preparations in the refrigerator.
It is in viburnum with sugar that all vitamins are preserved without cooking.
Ingredients:
For cooking, I use the same principle as in the first recipe. In order not to repeat the photo, look at the whole process above, how to wash the berries, dry them and sort them.
The berries need to be crushed and sugar added. I use a rolling pin, some people do it with a blender. After adding sugar, we continue to grind the viburnum.
It is also advisable to leave the viburnum with sugar on the table at room temperature so that the sugar dissolves.
Grind the finished mass through a strainer. To avoid using an iron colander, you can use a plastic or plastic colander. It is also desirable that the cells are not very small.
It turns out delicious, aromatic viburnum with seedless sugar. After standing in a cool place for a while, the viburnum with sugar becomes much thicker. Should be stored in the refrigerator.
The bones and skins that remain can not be thrown away, but used to make tea. Pour boiling water over a few spoons and you will get a pleasant viburnum drink.
To do this, the berries need to be washed and sorted. Try to keep all the viburnum berries whole and not crushed. Dry them on a paper towel. This is important to remove excess moisture.
Place the berries in a thin layer and freeze them. Then the berries need to be taken out of the freezer and packaged in small bags or bags with a zip fastener, you can use trays.
Viburnum compote is a tasty and aromatic drink that can be consumed instead of medicine. Close the compote in three liter jars, liter jars.
A friend of ours recently shared this recipe. They have a huge viburnum bush growing and they have tried a lot of recipes for viburnum preparations.
Ingredients:
On three liter jar you need to take 1.5 cups of viburnum berries. Which must first be sorted and washed, removing spoiled berries.
The taste of viburnum berries is rich, but sour. Therefore, you can add sugar directly to the jar. For three liters 1.5 cups of sugar. Or prepare a sweet syrup (adding sugar to taste) and pour over the berries. The compote turns out pleasant, refreshing, with a slight sourness.
If you add sugar and berries to a jar, pour boiling water over everything and let the jars with compote sterilize for 10 minutes.
If you are preparing a sweet syrup, then pour the syrup over the berries, leave for half an hour, and then pour the syrup into a saucepan and boil for about 5 minutes.
Pour the syrup back into the jar and seal with sterile lids.
In both cases, the compote should be wrapped in a warm blanket and left for a day.
Ingredients:
Viburnum jam can be cooked in two ways. If you want the berries to be whole, then prepare a syrup from water and sugar. For the specified amount of sugar you will need a glass of water.
Prepare the syrup and dip the viburnum berries into it. But here, try to ensure that the red viburnum berries are all intact, not crushed or damaged. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring. And then put the five-minute viburnum jam into sterile jars.
The second preparation method involves combining viburnum and sugar and grinding.
Put the jam on the fire (move it into a saucepan with a thick bottom) and cook from the moment it boils for 5 minutes. Place the jam in sterile jars and close with sterile lids.
This jam can be used to make delicious tea and taken as a tonic and vitamin drink, or as a means of reducing high blood pressure.
I prefer viburnum pureed with sugar with skin and seeds and viburnum pureed with sugar without seeds. But five minutes, it was this year new way harvesting viburnum for the winter.
Ingredients:
To prepare viburnum jelly, pour boiling water over the berries and leave for 5 minutes. Then drain the water and rub the berries through a sieve.
Combine the resulting viburnum puree with sugar and mix well. Place on the fire and simmer for 7-10 minutes from the moment it boils, stirring constantly.
Place the viburnum jelly into sterile jars and close with sterile lids. After cooling, the jelly will become even thicker.
Ingredients:
If you like sweet and sour sauces for fish, meat, chicken and other dishes, then I recommend trying viburnum sauce.
We love trying various interesting sauce recipes; this year we made quite a lot of dogwood preparations for the winter. Now we are preparing viburnum for the winter.
The berries should be sorted, washed, and separated from the branches. Next, they need to be poured with boiling water and left for 5-7 minutes. This will make the berries softer.
We drain the water and rub the viburnum berries through a sieve; we don’t need the skin and seeds, we only need viburnum puree.
Place the viburnum puree into a saucepan, add salt, sugar, spices and simmer over low heat for 7-10 minutes.
Be sure to taste the sauce and adjust the spices to your taste and preference. If you want to prepare the sauce for the winter, the sauce should be sterilized.
The viburnum sauce is homogeneous, red, and aromatic. You can serve the sauce with various dishes immediately after preparation.
You can increase or decrease the amount of ingredients for the sauce. And to rid viburnum of bitterness, you can place the berries in the freezer (time 1 hour), and then prepare a sauce from them.
I hope the recipes for viburnum preparations for the winter will be useful to you. Prepare a tasty and aromatic natural medicine and delicacy from viburnum berries, and be healthy!

The less the berry is processed thermally, the more benefits it will provide. In addition, even without cooking, viburnum will last well in the bins until spring, if by this period they have not yet had time to eat it. The suggested recipe is as follows:
Gradually, the viburnum will produce additional juice, which will dissolve the remaining sugar.
Washed berries can be frozen for the winter, or you can cook them without sugar in their own juice:
Viburnum in its own juice is an excellent semi-finished product for compotes, jelly and jellies. You can decorate cakes with berries and use the preparation for medicinal purposes.
If you want to make the preparation sweeter, you can use honey.
To do this, the fruits are doused with boiling water and immediately rubbed through a sieve. The resulting mass is combined with honey (1:1), kneaded thoroughly and stored in the cold. It turns out not only tasty, but also doubly healing.
Using this recipe, there is no need to pre-treat the fruit to remove bitterness. Under the influence of honey, it will go away by itself, and the workpiece will acquire a pleasant sweetness.
Well, which child doesn’t like sweet jelly? So you can make a delicious, beautiful fruit jelly from viburnum berries. And not just pamper the little household members with a dish, but make bulk preparations for the whole winter, following this algorithm:
The mass will very quickly turn into jelly due to the ability of the berries to gel. And in winter, children will enjoy not only their favorite, but also a healthy treat.
In order for the dish to be filled with an interesting taste, it is better to remove the berries from the branches after frost.
To prepare jam of the required thickness, granulated sugar is taken in the same volume as viburnum fruits. The first steps are identical to those described in the recipe for making jelly (if you don’t have a juicer, of course).
The jam is packaged hot into jars and immediately covered with plastic lids intended for preservation. To make the sweetness even more tender, it is recommended to replace some of the viburnum fruits with frozen raspberries or strawberries.
Jam is essentially the same jam, only a proportional amount of sugar is used for cooking, and water is needed. Therefore, the consistency will not be as thick as the previous dish. When preparing jam for future use, the housewife can experiment by combining viburnum with various gifts of nature.
To prepare this dish, take 3.5 kg of apples and sugar per 1 kg of viburnum, as well as 300-320 ml of water. The sequence of actions is as follows:
This recipe can become a housewife’s signature recipe – the taste of the jam is so unusual and pleasant. But in this version you will have to take more sugar than fruit - 2 kg per 1.5 kg of viburnum. Half a kilogram of citrus fruits is enough.
The cooking algorithm is as follows:
Since this jam is not subject to heat treatment, it is better to store it in the refrigerator or cellar at a temperature no higher than 8 degrees Celsius.
The name of the dish does not mean that the jam will be ready in almost 5 minutes - it’s just that each time you go on the stove lasts that long. And an equal ratio of sugar and viburnum (in this recipe, 1.5 kg each) will speed up the thickening process.
The technology itself is represented by the following actions:
Stir the jam constantly, not forgetting to skim off the foam. Pour into jars while hot.
Not everyone likes large viburnum hearts in jam, so you can prepare it according to this recipe. To begin with, the berries (1 kg) will have to be kept in the freezer for 2 hours, and then heated for 20 minutes over low heat in a saucepan with a thick bottom. Subsequent manipulations will be as follows:
The jam will need to be steamed a little more in a warm place, and then stored at a temperature of 5 to 18 degrees.
If the household has a special dryer, the problem can be solved quickly. In the absence of this household appliance you'll have to use the oven. For everything to work out correctly, adhere to the following conditions:
Viburnum can be dried using another method - drying. Before putting the viburnum in the oven, in this version it will have to go through several preliminary stages:
Only after this the fruits are laid out on a baking sheet covered with foil and dried in the oven at a temperature of 85 degrees for no more than half an hour.
If you make jam at home for the winter, then compotes are a must. Moreover, viburnum compote has beneficial properties that have a positive effect on the body. It perfectly quenches thirst, and also removes harmful toxins and compounds.
To maintain the correct proportion in the ratio of ingredients, for each 3-liter jar of preservation take 2 kg of viburnum berries, 0.75 kg of sugar and water (in liters).
Follow this cooking method:
The rolled up jars are turned upside down, wrapped in a blanket and kept for a day. Then they are taken out to a cool room.
Separate the berries (1 kg) from the stalks and rinse well with water. Then mash and squeeze out the juice. Pour the pomace with water (1 cup), bring to a boil and also squeeze.
Pour the first and second pressing juices into one container, add sugar (200 g) and bring to a boil.
Then pour into prepared bottles or jars, screw on the lids and cool under a blanket.
We can continue endlessly describing the methods of winter preparations. Even despite the fact that viburnum is not as popular as, for example, cherries, housewives have accumulated enough recipes for this berry.
