I will write 7 recipes at once today various jams from apples. Write in the comments which recipe you liked best.

Do you know the difference between preserves, marmalade and marmalade? The jam should contain whole pieces of fruit or whole berries in clear syrup. Therefore, the jam is cooked for a short time, often in several batches, to maintain its shape. Jam is also made from pieces, but they are not kept whole. That is, they will meet in the jam small pieces fruit. And jam is made from fruit puree. It should be uniform and thick.

In this article I will write how to make apple jam so that whole slices remain in it. I’ll also tell you the secrets of making thick apple jam.

Apple jam cannot be cooked in enamel containers, because the jam will stick and burn. Also, you must remove the foam from any jam when cooking. If this is not done, the jam may ferment during storage.

Apple jam should be poured hot into sterilized jars. Jars can be sterilized over steam. For example, fill a wide saucepan with water and place a wire rack on it. Place clean jars, washed with a new sponge and soda, on the wire rack upside down. Steam the jars for 15 minutes until the glass becomes clear. The jars can also be sterilized in the oven for 15 minutes at a temperature of 140-150 degrees. But you need to place the banks in cold oven so that they don't burst. The lids need to be boiled for 5 minutes.

Jars that are no more than 5 years old are suitable for preservation. See the year of manufacture on the bottom of the can.

With jam wedges you need to tinker more than with marmalade. Precisely because it takes a lot of time to cut fruit. But in the jam, where the pieces are preserved whole, there will be more useful substances who were in fresh fruits. In good apple jam, the fruit slices and syrup should be transparent and have a beautiful amber color. In addition to being a treat for tea, this delicacy can be used as a filling for pies and other baked goods.

3. Let the jam simmer over low heat. Gradually the sugar will dissolve and the apples will give even more juice. Bring the syrup to a boil and turn off the heat. While the jam is boiling, turn the apples periodically. The side that will be in syrup will cook faster. Therefore, the fruit must be turned over. As the apples heat up, they will change color and become golden.

4.After boiling, cover the jam with a plate and place pressure, weighing about 1-1.5 kg. Pressure is needed so that all the apples are immersed in the syrup and not floating on top. Now remove the pan from the heat and let the jam cool completely.

5. Let the apples cook a second time. Bring the syrup to a boil over low heat in the same way. Remove the foam. Boil for 2-3 minutes and remove from heat. Put it under pressure and let it cool again.

It turns out very beautiful and delicious jam from apples. The syrup will be quite thick, so there is no need to cook the jam for too long, reducing it.

It is important to wash only the top bright layer, not to reach the white layer of the fruit (the white part of the peel will taste bitter). Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the apples and stir. Sour juice will help maintain color. Lemon seeds should not get into the jam.

3. You can optionally add 1 teaspoon of Imeretian saffron to the lemon and orange zest, if available. Saffron will add brightness to the color of the jam, but you can do without it. Add the zest to the apples.

Thick apple jam - cooking secrets

There are some mistakes that housewives make when preparing jam. Because of these mistakes, the jam may burn and may not be thick enough. I’ll tell you how to cook delicious and thick apple jam.

It is important to choose the right apples for the jam. Take sour varieties (they have more pectin, which means the jam will thicken faster) - Antonovka, Semerenko, Granny Smith, Gloster. If you only have sweet apples, you will need to add something with them. big amount pectin - quince, peaches, plums, citrus zest, pumpkin.

Ingredients:

  • green sour apples - 2 kg
  • sugar - 1.2 kg
  • water - 300 ml
  • lemon juice - 4 tbsp.

Cooking method:

1. Wash and peel the apples. Don't throw away the skins, they will come in handy. It is the peel that contains twice as much pectin as the apple pulp. Therefore, these peelings will be boiled together with the jam so that it thickens faster. Place the skins in gauze and tie them into a knot, leaving long tails of the gauze. You will then use these ends to remove the peel from the pan.

2. Cut the peeled apples into 4 parts and cut out the core. Weigh the peeled apples. For 1 kg of peeled apples, take 150 ml of water. Pour water into a stainless steel pan. Place apple peelings in the bottom of the water and sprinkle apple quarters on top.

3.Put on strong fire pan and bring to a boil with the lid closed. After boiling, do medium heat and cook the apples for 15-20 minutes.

Do not fill the pan more than 3/4 full. Otherwise, foam will come out through the top.

4.Check the apples with a skewer - they should be soft. If this is the case, take out the cheesecloth with the peelings and wring it out of the pan. No more skins needed. Boiled apples need to be pureed. First, place them in a sieve to drain. excess liquid. It does not need to be added to jam. Next, grind the apple pieces through a sieve or use an immersion blender.

5.B applesauce you need to add sugar and lemon juice. For the perfect jam, take 600 grams of sugar per 1 kg of peeled apples. This amount will help the jam stand for a long time and not ferment, but at the same time the jam will not be cloying. Lemon juice will prevent the apples from becoming too dark. Stir the puree with sugar and juice.

6. To make the jam thick, you can simmer it over low heat. But this will happen for a very long time. To reduce the time by three times, you need to bake the jam! To do this, preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Pour applesauce and sugar onto a baking sheet and smooth out the layer. The thickness of the layer should be no more than 3 cm. The thinner it is, the faster the liquid will evaporate. The baking tray does not need to be covered or greased with anything.

7. When you put the jam in an oven preheated to 200 degrees, reduce the heat to 150 degrees and bake it for 1 hour. Meanwhile, sterilize the jars and lids.

8.Check the readiness of the jam. It should decrease in volume by about half. Place some jam on a saucer and turn it over. If it doesn't fall (like ) then it's ready.

9.Hot jam should be quickly poured into hot sterilized jars. The jars are sterilized over steam for about 15 minutes until transparent. Therefore, 15 minutes before the jam is ready, put the jars to sterilize, 5 minutes before the jam is ready, boil the lids. The jam should be placed along the “marusin belt” - this is the place of the jar where it begins to narrow (the shoulders).

Don’t forget to rinse the ladle you will use to pour the jam in boiling water.

10. To prevent the jam from becoming moldy, sprinkle sugar on top. The sugar layer should be about 5-10 mm. This is the so-called sugar castle or sugar plug. Condensation from the lid will fall not onto the jam, but onto the sugar. And roll it up right away hot cap, which you need to remove from the boiling water and shake off all the water. Turn the jar over and check that the lid is tight and there are no leaks.

11.Now the jam is ready. After cooling, put it in the dark, dry place, where it can be stored for up to 3 years. When the jam sits for a while, it will become even thicker, almost like marmalade. Use it as a filling for bagels, pies and just for tea.

I think from these 7 recipes you can choose a recipe that will become a favorite in your family. For recipes for other jams, see the section.

After soaking, pour out the liquid; we won’t need it anymore.


2. Then we twist the apples through a meat grinder and immediately mix them with sugar.


3. Transfer the resulting mixture to a saucepan, bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook for another 1 hour, stirring occasionally.


4. Pour the boiling jam into cleanly washed jars, filling them to the neck. Then roll it up or cover it with a clean lid, turn it over, cover it with a blanket and leave it like that until it cools completely.
