Aronia (chokeberry), apple, rose water and juniper conserve Vegan

Ingredients:

600 g Aronia (chokeberries)

300 g peeled and cored apple, cut into 1 cm cubes

20 ml rose water

20 ml water

400 g of pectinized sugar (jam sugar)

20 juniper berries

2x 500 ml Kilner/Mason jars, washed and sterilized - 30 mins. at 140°C

Method:

Wash and de-stalk the berries

Bring the water and rose water to a boil and add the fruit and juniper berries. Stir frequently. After 5 minutes, add the sugar.

Simmer on a medium heat for about 25 minutes (mine was 102°C). Stir frequently.

To test if it is setting, put a spoonful on a cold plate - put it in the freezer for 10 minutes. When you draw your finger through the jam, it should no longer return, ... the furrow remains.

If it doesn't set, boil a little longer stirring all the time to prevent burning the bottom of the pan.

When ready, pour into hot jars and seal immediately.
