Ingredients
- 1 kg apples, peeled and cored
- 600g sugar
- 100ml water
- Juice from 2 lemons
Instructions
- Wash the apples thoroughly, peel and core them, then cut them into small pieces. Place them in a bowl with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Place the peels and cores in a cheesecloth bag (as they contain pectin) and tie it securely.
- In a pot, add the apple pieces, the cheesecloth bag, and the water. Boil for a short time until the apples begin to soften.
- Remove the cheesecloth bag and blend the apple pieces until smooth. Return the blended apples to the pot.
- Add the sugar and boil the mixture, stirring frequently, for 25-30 minutes until the jam thickens.
- Once the jam is ready, let it cool for about 10 minutes to stop the boiling process. Transfer it to sterilized jars while still warm.
