There are many ways to process apples. They can be used to make jam, preserves, marmalades, marshmallows, juices, compotes, etc. Apples can be dried for the winter, or simply cooked charlotte.
Apple jam
The most common type of apple processing is jam, the recipes for which are great. They can be found in various magazines on culinary pages, in special issues on blanks, on the corresponding sites on the Internet. In addition, every good housewife has her own recipe with a secret ingredient. Surely your grandmother or mom can share a great recipe with you.
Jam and jam are similar in preparation methods to jam. Their difference is in a thicker consistency. In the future, you can make bagels or kurabie cookies from them.
It should be noted that with the above method of processing apples, the valuable qualities of this product are lost and only calories remain. Still, jam making is popular among housewives.
Apple pastila
You can also make a marshmallow. To do this, apples are usually boiled, passed through a sieve and, after mixing with a small amount of sugar, are spread on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil. Cooked at relatively low temperatures. Children love apple marshmallow. In addition, some vitamins are retained in it. Accordingly, it is a healthier product than jam.
Juices and compotes
Nowadays, home-made natural apple juice is more popular, since apples retain more useful properties during this processing than when making compote. In addition, the juice can be cooked in a juicer and without sugar, which is very important for people with diabetes. And for the owner of an apple orchard, juicing is just a necessity.
Dried apples
One of the most optimal processing methods is apple drying. Dried fruits retain their useful properties almost completely. From them, the same compote can be cooked in winter, while store-bought apples lose their valuable qualities at this time of the year. And how nice it is to sit in the evenings in front of the TV and eat dried apples, not popcorn or chips. Although, of course, when watching TV or sitting at the computer, you should not eat at all.
You can stuff pies with apples, stuff a New Year's goose. From the sweet varieties of this fruit, a wonderful charlotte is obtained. And for young children, it will be nice to bake an apple filled with honey and crushed cookies in the oven. Both healthy and tasty.
