The traditional preparation process includes two boiling stages, which helps preserve the texture of the berries and their rich flavor, making the jam particularly appetizing.

There is an even more delicate way of cooking "Tsarskoe" jam - this is when instead of seeds, a quarter of a walnut is put into each berry. But this is not even a recipe, but something akin to culinary obedience.
