Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 2 d
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make transparent jam from apples? Prepare the necessary products. Measure the sugar after slicing the apples. It is better to take apples that are not too hard, but also not loose - it is important for us that the slices retain their shape after cooking. Choose the sweetness to your taste.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Wash the apples thoroughly and wipe dry. Cut them into quarters first, remove the core. Then cut them into thin slices. The thinner the slices are, the more beautiful the jam will turn out. I do not recommend cutting off the skin, the slices may fall apart when cooking, and you will get jam, not transparent jam.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Now the sliced apples need to be weighed. And measure out exactly the same amount of sugar. Fill the apple slices with this sugar. It is better to do this immediately in the dishes in which the jam will be cooked. Leave the covered apples for 12 hours. It is necessary for the apples to give juice.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    After due time, we see that a lot of juice has been released. Put the dishes with apples on the fire and start heating, slightly stirring the future jam with a wooden spatula until the sugar is completely dissolved. It is not necessary to disturb the jam too much, so as not to break the delicate apple slices.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Bring the jam to a boil and boil it over low heat for 5 minutes.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Let the jam cool completely. I just left it for 8 hours.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Put the jam on the fire again and bring it to a boil again. You can mix the mass slightly so that the apples are cooked more evenly. Leave it standing again for 8 hours. Then repeat the process again - bring to a boil, boil. And then you need to look at the state of the jam. If it is already thick, and its drop on the saucer does not spread, then stop cooking. If the syrup is still liquid, then cook the jam for not 5 minutes, but 15, achieving its thickening.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Cool the finished jam and pour it into clean jars. It is not necessary to sterilize them, such jam is stored well, there is a lot of sugar and acid in apples. Have a nice tea party!

I always cook apple jam according to this recipe, and it always turns out to be successful - transparent, with whole slices.
Any apples will do, but in my opinion, Antonovka jam is tastier than all of them.
You can add cinnamon, vanilla or a star of star anise when cooking.
