Wash the apples, peel them (though you can leave the skins on), core them along with the seed pods, and cut them into thin slices. First, make a syrup from 2 lbs (1 kg) of sugar and a cup of water (be sure to skim off the foam as the syrup comes to a boil). Drop the apple slices into the boiling syrup, then turn off the heat and let it sit for 6 hours. After that, cook it down in three or four rounds until it's done. The first time, boil the jam for 20–30 minutes and let it rest for 6–10 hours, then repeat the process until the jam reaches the thickness you want. At the end of the last round, stir in the citric acid, remove from the heat, and ladle it hot into jars. Once it has cooled completely, seal with pre-steamed plastic lids and store it away (in a cellar or refrigerator). I hope this recipe helps you add a little variety to your winter sweets.
