Amber jam with apple slices

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook amber jam from apples? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Pick apples to your taste, even sweet, even sour. More sugar will be needed for sour ones, and less for sweet ones. The main thing is that the fruits are strong, without flaws.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash and pat the apples thoroughly or let them dry.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the apples in half, and then in slices, remove the core. To preserve their shape in jam, it is better not to peel them off. If the shape is not critical for you, you can peel the apples.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put the prepared apple slices in a saucepan and sprinkle with sugar (take half a dose or less). Leave them in the refrigerator for 12-14 hours, preferably overnight.

6. Step 5:

   

   During this time, the apples will release juice. Take them out of the refrigerator, shake them. Take a wide and deep saucepan (or basin), transfer the apples into it, put on fire and bring to a boil. Add the remaining sugar and cook until it dissolves, constantly shaking the jam, flooding the pop-up slices into the syrup. After cooking for 5 minutes, turn off the stove, cool the jam. Make sure not to damage the slices - the jam needs to be shaken, not stirred.

7. Step 6:

   

   Bring the jam to a boil again and cook over low heat until fully cooked - until the syrup thickens and all the apple slices are caramelized. Add ground cinnamon and clove umbrellas to taste (optional).

8. Step 7:

   

   The jam turns out to be very fragrant, beautiful, the slices in it are amber-transparent in color.
