Have you ever tried pumpkin jam with cranberries? If not, I highly recommend! It is not only tasty, but also healthy.

Although most of the vitamin C, which is especially rich in cranberries, is lost after heat treatment, the mineral composition of the berries remains the same, and fiber does not disappear anywhere. In addition, heat treatment makes the product much softer: cranberry acid (which is often contraindicated in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, weakening of tooth enamel, etc.) is no longer as aggressive as fresh.

Pumpkin is generally a priceless crop. Of the minerals necessary for a person, pumpkin is rich in potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, iron (iron - especially pumpkin is recommended for anemia), phosphorus and even sulfur, there is a lot of carotene and pectin in pumpkin. The combination of pumpkin with cranberries makes the end product not only rich in healing properties, but also excellent in taste.

In addition, pumpkin jam with cranberries is not only tasty, but also very beautiful. In addition to drinking with tea, it can be used as a filling for pies, pies, as a decoration for pastries and cakes.
