Many people are accustomed to making jam from one main ingredient, that is, for example, only from apples. Sometimes old recipes need to be changed and improved. I suggest you make apple jam with almonds.

After the required amount of time has passed, pour the mixture with 400 milliliters of water and put on fire. When it boils, cook it for another 5 minutes over low heat. Let the mass brew for 10-12 hours.
