Ingredients

Apple is the main ingredient so get your hand on slightly tart, fully ripened but firm green apples.

apples

sugar

water

cinnamon

lemon juice

1

Add sugar, cinnamon stick, and ginger. You can add more spices too for a spiced jam. The amount of sugar used depends on your taste preference.

2

 Cover the pot and cook for 15 minutes on medium-low heat until apples turn translucent.

3

At this stage either mash for a pulpy jam.

4

For a smooth jam use an immersion blender. I prefer mashing jam. Then blitz with an immersion blender 2-3 times for a semi-smooth consistency, like in the jam photo.

5

Cook the jam over low heat for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. Be more frequent when the jam approaches the setting stage as it requires more carefulness.

6

Test the jam on a cold plate to see if it's ready to set. Place a large drop of hot jam on a cold freezer plate and let it cool for 30 seconds.

7

Fill clean and dry jars with hot apple jam. Place the lids on the jars and turn them upside down. Leave an only ½ inch gap on top of the jar between the seal and jam.

8

Let the jam cool and set for 24 hours then put it in the fridge. You can use this recipe for canning as well.
