Apple jam for winter through a meat grinder

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook apple jam through a meat grinder? Apples are suitable for both sweet and sour-sweet. Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the taste of apples. If the apples are sour, take 1.5-1.8 kg of sugar. Please note that the weight of the apples is taken already in the peeled form.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the apples thoroughly, dry them, clean them from seeds and tails.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pass the apples through a meat grinder with a fine grate. If there is an electrical assistant, the process will go much faster.

4. Step 4:

   

   To cook the jam, choose a suitable-sized saucepan. Aluminum is not suitable, since the acids contained in apples will negatively affect the metal. Put the chopped apples in a saucepan.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add sugar to the apples, mix.

6. Step 6:

   

   Leave the apple mass at room temperature for 1 hour so that the sugar dissolves. To speed up the process, you can mix the mass a couple of times.

8. Step 7:

   

   Put the pan on the fire, bring to a boil. Cook over moderate heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The jam will turn light brown and only slightly thicken. Remove the pan from the heat, leave at room temperature for 10-12 hours.

9. Step 8:

   

   Then boil the jam for another 25 minutes from the moment of boiling. During cooking, the apple mass will thicken, so do not forget to stir so that the jam does not burn. The color of the jam will become darker. Leave the jam at room temperature for another 10-12 hours.

10. Step 9:

    

    The cooled jam should have a stable, thick consistency. If it is still dripping from the spoon, boil the jam again to the desired density and cool.

11. Step 10:

    

    Wash the jars, sterilize them in a convenient way: in the microwave or steamed. The lids also need to be boiled. Fill the dry jars with jam and seal tightly. Store the workpiece in a dark, cool place.
