   How to make apples in syrup for winter? Prepare everything you need: apples, a few sprigs of mint and sugar. Which varieties of apples are better to use?

In order not to make a mistake in the calculations, I drain the water from the cans first into a measuring cup, and then into a saucepan. I got about half a liter of water and added 200 grams of sugar, respectively. So, add the required amount of sugar and send the pan to the fire. After boiling, reduce the flame to moderate and leave until the sugar is completely dissolved.
