I had adventures with this apple jam. I cooked it twice. But thanks to my mistakes, I finally understood what needed to be done in order to prepare excellent transparent jam from apple slices. And the secret here is very simple - apples. It's all about the apples! They should be strong and juicy. If you buy strong but not juicy apples of unknown varieties, you risk repeating my unsuccessful experience, because the first time I got an incomprehensible dark brown substance with dry and completely opaque slices. If you take soft and tender apples, they will boil and you won’t get any slices. So there is only one way out - to take the Antonovka or Semerenka, which has been proven for centuries. They will help the magic happen - they will give you enough juice and retain their shape.

Clear apple jam is cooked in slices as a series of “five minutes”. And the principle of preparation is similar to that of any other “five-minute exercise.” That is, the apples are covered with sugar, given juice and then boiled, not just once, but four or five times, until all the slices become transparent amber. Actually, that's all you need to know. But if you are used to following a recipe step by step (and I usually do), then everything is described below in great detail.

• Apples (ideally Antonovka) - 1 kg,
• Sugar – 600 g.

Method for making clear apple jam in slices

So let's get started. Wash the apples, cut them into quarters, remove the core and seeds and then cut them into slices no more than 5 mm thick.

Close the pan with a lid and set for 8 hours. I don’t recommend it for longer - the top layer of apples may wilt and these dried slices will no longer be filled with syrup - boil them for at least a year (I checked, so take my word for it).

After 8 hours, the apples will give so much juice that it will cover them almost entirely. For some reason this really surprised me. But it is clear that the berries give a lot of juice, but the apples, which look so dense. Some kind of miracle!

Place the pan on the fire, bring to a boil, reduce the heat so that there is no intense gurgling and note the time - after exactly 5 minutes the jam will need to be turned off. I don’t recommend stirring the apples, otherwise the still soft slices may become wrinkled or torn. You can shake the pan slightly (lightly so as not to get burned!), You can heat the slices with a silicone spatula. In general, handle jam with care.

Leave the jam for 8 hours. Then put it on the fire again, bring it to a boil again, reduce the heat again and cook again for 5 minutes.

We leave for another 8 hours (although the third and fourth cooking can be delayed - apples well cooked in syrup will not spoil, so I cooked it after about 12-14 hours and everything worked out). Cook again in the mode already familiar to us.

And after an eight-hour period we cook it a fourth time. The last time I cooked it was not 5, but 7 minutes, due to which the jam turned amber. The apple slices were already completely transparent. And, most importantly, quite dense. That is, they kept their shape perfectly, like candied fruits in syrup. This is exactly what I needed! The jam tastes sweet and sour. Delicious! Definitely worth your time. I don’t recommend experimenting with “fast” recipes. Either they are for some mega-advanced chefs, or they are far from plausible. An old, reliable recipe tested over the years gave the expected result. I absolutely adore this jam. Nothing else compares to it.

Clear apple jam slices

Time for late apple varieties. They make a real hit - jam in transparent slices.

The recipe for apple jam has certain subtleties, without observing which we will end up with ordinary jam with pieces boiled in puree (well, okay, not jam, but something jam-like). It’s delicious, of course, but for a change I want a different result. I want real, transparent, glass-like, amber apple jam - it has its own charm: the taste of apples is richer and the color is more intense.

It is not difficult to cook transparent apple jam in slices, but the process takes quite a lot of time. The fact is that the jam is prepared in three steps at intervals of 6-10 hours. This is the only way to get amber syrup And transparent slices apples In addition, it is important to choose the “right” apples. Suitable late varieties with hard (strong) fruits, whose slices will not fall apart, but will only be saturated with syrup. And pay attention: the harder and greener apples, the more transparent the slices will be!

Ingredients

• For 1 kg of apples you will need 0.7-1 kg of sugar, depending on how sweet you like your preparations.

How to make apple jam in slices

Wash the apples, cut into 4 parts, remove the core, cut the resulting parts into slices 0.5-1 cm thick, each can be cut into two more parts if the apple is large.

You also need to choose the right pan for cooking. For jam, many people use aluminum dishes, because in them the fruits quickly warm up and do not burn. But this is only in the case of “five-minute” cooking. It is impossible to keep jam in such a pan for a long time, because the aluminum will react with sour apples, which will lead to the formation of unnecessary harmful substances. Hence, aluminum pan exclude.

Place apple slices in layers in a saucepan of suitable volume, sprinkling each layer generously with sugar.

Cover the pan with a lid and leave for 8-10 hours. During this time they will give apples required amount juice to start cooking.

Place the pan on medium heat, bring the syrup to a boil, let it cook for 5 minutes. Do not mix the apples! Even if the syrup does not completely cover them, you can just press them lightly with a spoon so that they are in the syrup. It is important that the apples are not stirred even once during the entire cooking of the jam, so that the slices do not become deformed.
Remove the pan from the heat, cover and leave to cool completely, this will take at least 6 hours. This is what the slices will look like after the first cooking and cooling.

Bring the jam to a boil again, cook for 5 minutes, cool (again for at least 6 hours). After the second cooking, the slices will become even more saturated with sweet syrup.

It remains to boil the apples for the third time. And now the jam is ready. You can put it in clean, sterilized jars and roll it up or cover it with lids. The jars are prepared taking into account that 1 kilogram of apples yields approximately liter jar jam.

Often a little ground cinnamon is added to this apple jam or boiled with vanilla, which makes the taste even brighter.

Like most preparations, apple jam is stored in slices in a dark, cool room.

• Choose the right dishes for cooking delicacies. You cannot cook food in an aluminum container. Give preference to enameled (without chips) and stainless steel bowls or pans.
• Cook the jam in several batches over low heat. Be sure to follow the proportions and storage conditions, otherwise the product may turn sour.
• Do not overcook the dish; it may become too thick and dark in color.
• To prevent the sweet food from becoming sugary in the future, add a little at the end lemon juice or citric acid.

IMPORTANT! When preparing aromatic, sweet jam, you can slightly adjust the recipes. if you love rich taste, then add more sugar, spices and other ingredients to the dish. Just try not to reduce the amount of sugar, otherwise the jam may simply turn sour.
