Apple jam is a sweet delicacy with an indescribable aroma and taste, which can be prepared either in slices, in syrup, or by adding various fruits and berries. Let's make a five-minute apple jam.
Regardless of which recipe for making apple jam you stop, the principle of preparing apples will be the same. The apples must be washed well, then cut into 6 or 8 pieces, depending on their size, and the core and seeds removed.
In the event that the apple has a tough skin, it is best to cut it off. If you want to make quick jam, then you must remove the peel. Also, to soften hard apples, you can blanch them for 3-5 minutes in boiling water, and then dip them in cold water.
To make apple jam, five minutes you will need:
- apples - 2 kg;
- sugar - 1 tbsp.
Rinse the apples, cut off the peel, remove the core and seeds, then blanch the apples. Sterilize the jars and boil the lids. Next, the apples must be chopped on a grater, and then add sugar to this mass.
When the apples are juiced, they must be put in a cauldron with a thick bottom and put on the stove. You need to cook the jam for 5 minutes, until it boils. After the specified time, remove the cauldron, and put the jam in the jars. Do not forget to wrap up the banks and leave for a day.
Apple jam, prepared according to this recipe, contains a minimum amount of sugar, while retaining a large amount of vitamins.
The apple and cinnamon jam is unusually tasty and aromatic.
You will need:
- apples - 2 kg;
- cinnamon - 1 tsp;
- sugar - 2 tbsp.
Prepare apples in exactly the same way, only cut the apple into small slices. Then cover the apple slices with granulated sugar, stir and leave in the refrigerator for 10 hours.
For 1 kilogram of apples, a glass of sugar and half a teaspoon of cinnamon are usually taken.
After the indicated time, stir your jam and place on the stove. Cook for 5-6 minutes, then add cinnamon to the jam a few minutes before the end of cooking. Prepare jars and lids. Arrange the boiling jam in containers, roll up the jars and wrap them up.
