Melon jam with apples for winter

Melon for the preparation of this delicacy is better to choose ripe, sweet and juicy. I wash it, then cut it, cut out the pulp. After that, cut the pulp into small cubes with a side equal to about 1 cm. We transfer the chopped melon into a large container.

Then wash the apples, peel them, cut them in half and cut out the cores, cut into cubes commensurate with the melon. We put the chopped apples in a separate container and pour them with freshly squeezed lemon juice. This should be done so that the apples do not darken.

We put a large saucepan on a slow fire, put cubes of apples and melons in it, fill them with sugar, mix. Cook the jam until it thickens. The degree of density depends on personal preferences.

Be sure to prepare the jars in advance - sterilize them in any convenient way. For example, you can use an oven. It is also necessary to sterilize the covers. We do it this way...

We take the cans, wash them with soda, rinse well and place them in a cold oven on the grill. Carefully washed with soda lids are also put in the oven. Turn on the oven to warm up to 120 degrees, the time is 15 minutes. This time is suitable for sterilization of liter cans. If the cans are half a liter, 10 minutes will be enough.

We put the finished jam hot in prepared sterile jars, roll up the jars with lids. We turn the jars upside down, wrap them with a blanket and leave them in this form until the jam cools down completely. When this happens, the jam jars can be put away for storage. You can store such jam even in an apartment.

Delicious and sweet preparations!
