A few words about the history of Raspberry Jam Day

The official appearance of the holiday is dated 2015. The establishment was initiated by the popular culinary Internet community Daily-menu.ru, which decided to renew the old Slavic tradition.

In ancient times in Russia it was customary to celebrate the Day of the Raspberry. The holiday was then called Malinnik, and noisy festivities in honor of the sweet berry were held just in mid-August. In those days, they glorified not so much raspberry jam as the berry itself, which was one of the symbols of the fertility of the Russian land.

The healing properties of raspberries were raised to the rank of a panacea. Taking the berries inside, the Slavs were cured of a variety of ailments: colds, coughs, throat diseases. Raspberries also helped to improve immunity. And the beautiful girls were sure that rubbing the cheeks with a red berry gives them a healthy glow. By the way, some of the Russian young ladies always ate a handful of berries before kissing in order to hear the highest praise from the guys: "Your lips are sweet as honey."

Much time has passed since then, but raspberries are still popular. It is used in the manufacture of medicinal syrups for children and in the composition of cosmetics. Modern culinary also cannot do without sweet, aromatic, raspberry berries. Pies and pies, preserves and jams, mousses and cocktails, juices and teas, cakes and pastries, ice cream and sweets - everywhere, absolutely everywhere, raspberries are appropriate. Yes, and for the winter it is harvested in different ways: they dry it, make jam, freeze it, grind it with sugar.

Raspberry jam day in modern times

Several centuries ago, during the celebration of Malinnik, girls danced around the raspberry bushes, the guys composed funny ditties about raspberries, and old people told legends about how a small berry saved the whole village from the plague, how they lured a bear with the help of several branches of raspberries and tamed them, how they hid in dense thickets from the Mongols. Many interesting things could be learned about medicinal properties.

Today, Raspberry Jam Day is celebrated on a smaller scale. Nevertheless, it is on August 16 that the first tasting of sweet, slightly viscous and viscous jam takes place. Relatives, close acquaintances, neighbors, and friends are invited to test the skill of the hostesses. And in popular cafes and prestigious restaurants, special events take place, during which cooks and chefs compete in the preparation of desserts, where the main ingredient is necessarily raspberry jam. After the enchanting show, all spectators are given ready-made meals for free.

Making jam is not just a preparation of vitamin sweets. This is a special ceremony, kitchen magic. Once upon a time, not a single tea party in Russia was complete without jam.

Who and when was the first to make the jam is unknown. It seems that it was brewed in Russia from time immemorial. Historians are inclined to believe that making jam is a Russian national tradition. There is another guess that the Eastern Slavs adopted the tradition of making jam from the Finno-Ugric tribes. One way or another, but the jam has not existed for a hundred years.

It was customary to start cooking each jam on certain days. For example, on July 24 (according to the national calendar, the day of Ofimya-komarnitsa or Efimya Stozharnitsa), the cooking of raspberry jam began. Since there was no sugar in Russia, and sugar imported from abroad was very expensive, honey was used to make jam.
And in the old days, jam was cooked without honey at all, boiling the berries until thick, for 5-6 hours until the initial volume was reduced by 6-10 times. They did this without an open fire, firing a Russian stove, which is capable of holding a high temperature for several hours.

In the 19th century in Russia, the skill of making jam was put on a par with the ability to sing, draw, and play the piano.
Maidens from respectable families were taught the art of making jam in boarding houses and institutes for noble maidens. Catherine II was a big lover of gooseberry jam. Loved him and A.S. Pushkin. But Ivan the Terrible loved cucumber jam ...

Nowadays, there are diligent housewives who make jam according to old recipes, but not in the oven, but in the oven.
You need to cook it in several steps. First, the berries are boiled
in an enamel saucepan on the stove, over low heat, until volume
will not decrease by two or three times. Then the jam is put in the oven.
and boiled down until it decreases 6-8 times, depending on the sugar content of a particular berry.

Centuries have passed, but the hostesses still brew this ancient Russian delicacy. And still the scent spreading through the apartment
from freshly brewed jam fills the house with coziness.
