Making apple jam
Apples that have fallen should be washed well, cut into small pieces, put in a large saucepan, pour water so that they are completely covered with it, cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until softened.
Then discard the boiled apples on a sieve, strain the juice into the same pan. Dissolve all the sugar in the juice and cook the syrup over low heat for 30 minutes, here you need to look at the consistency, the syrup should become slightly viscous, but you cannot digest it, or you get a sticky mass that is not at all typical for jam.
Boiled apples can be ground through a sieve and mashed potatoes, adding sugar to taste, it is perfect for baking.
As soon as the syrup is ready, not earlier than the specified time, it remains to peel the hard apples, grate on a coarse grater and put in syrup, cook for 20 minutes from the moment of boiling over medium heat, avoiding strong boiling.
There should not be a lot of free liquid, grated apples will occupy the entire volume of syrup, if there is a lot of syrup, add more apples.
The finished jam will be viscous, golden-orange in color, apples are transparent, soft, at the end you can add cinnamon or chopped almonds, mix.
Put hot apple jam in clean hot sterilized jars and roll up with iron lids (if for the winter), or cool, close with ordinary lids and store in the refrigerator.
Tasty!
