Apple jam turns out simply amber, honeyed – apple pieces are transparent, dense. Jam is excellent as a filling for muffins, additions to desserts and cakes.
For preparation you will need the following ingredients:
–
apples, 1.5 kg;
– soda, 3 tsp;
– water, 3 liters.
For the preparation of syrup is necessary:
–
water, 200 ml;
– sugar, 800 g;
– lemon juice, 2 tbsp.
Cooking process
I always take hard varieties of apples for this jam, then the pieces turn out dense.
In a saucepan mix water with soda
. Apples cut with a vegetable cutter or into small pieces with a knife.
Pour the apples into the water with soda and leave for 1 hour.
For the syrup mix sugar, lemon juice and water, cook after boiling for 5 minutes
.
Take the apple slices out of the water with soda, let drain and pour into a clean pot, pour hot syrup, cover the pot with a lid and leave indoors overnight
.
In the morning put the pot on the stove, after boiling cook for 5 minutes and leave it open for 8 hours.
Again cook for 5 minutes after boiling, cool for 8 hours and cook for 5 minutes for the last time. Pour
the jam into sterilized jars, screw on the lids, turn and leave to cool. We
store in the cellar or in the pantry
.
My family loves such jam with pancakes, fritters and pancakes, often and pies, doughnuts I prepare with this stuffing.
