Another unexpected, but very productive duet: you can use both red and white grapes in this jam, the main thing is seedless, so that nothing foreign gets mixed up on your tongue later. And if the comparison of the natural tannin flavor of chokeberry with wine comes naturally, then adding grapes only enhances this similarity. Another life hack: it is worth seasoning the jam with a moderate amount of hot pepper, fried onions and some fragrant spices, like thyme and rosemary, dilute to the desired consistency with broth and boil, you will no longer get a sweetness, but a sweetish tart sauce for meat and poultry with notes of noble port wine.

Dry jam is candied fruit that is first boiled in syrup, like regular jam, and then dried in the same sweet glaze. The berries remain whole when cooked this way, and the dense skin of the chokeberry is a plus in this case: because of it, the candied fruit does not lose its shape, it turns out smooth and even. Then you can do with it in different ways: add it to cottage cheese or ice cream, decorate cakes and muffins. But the main thing about it is the sweet taste of nostalgia: there is something in this tartare delicacy from the leisurely dacha life that has sunk into oblivion with a blooming garden and tea drinking on the veranda under a large lampshade.

Grapes are rarely used as a handy material, unless we are talking about wine. A handful of sultanas can be added to a salad, tartlets can be decorated with berries, nothing else comes to mind from recipes. Meanwhile, they are excellent at making jam from foreign grapes , for example, in Georgia, where churchkhela is also made from thickened grape juice. But if you need grapes on an industrial scale for churchkhela, a few bunches will be enough to make jam. From the heat, the berries become especially transparent , but remain whole, soaked in juice, and around them is a crystal clear syrup of a glowing amber color, very beautiful. The only drawback: table grapes are always too sweet, so the taste of the jam is definitely cloying . But this can be easily fixed by adding a little lemon sourness to the recipe.
