Lingonberry jam with apples

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make lingonberry jam with apples for the winter? Prepare your food. You can take lingonberries either fresh or frozen, which will first need to be thawed. Choose preferably sweet varieties of apples - their sweetness compensates for the bitterness of lingonberries. You can also add a little lemon zest to this jam.

2. STEP 2

   

   First prepare the berries. To do this, sort through them, removing debris and spoiled berries, and then rinse well under running water. Leave them in a sieve or colander to drain excess liquid.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the apples thoroughly under running water. Wipe them dry. Cut each apple into quarters, remove the core and seeds, and then remove the skin. Cut the apples into small pieces.

4. STEP 4

   

   Take a bowl for making jam. Copper is best suited for this purpose, but not everyone has it. I always cook in enamel. The main thing is that the enamel is not damaged. And you need to be careful when cooking so that the mass does not burn. Pour sugar into a bowl. Pour in clean cold water. Use only tasty ones, from a filter or bottle. Poor quality water will ruin the taste of the jam.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the basin on low heat. Stirring until the sugar dissolves, then bring the syrup to a boil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add lingonberries to the syrup.

7. STEP 7

   

   Bring the syrup with berries to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Boil lingonberries for 30 minutes. Stir the berries from time to time and skim off any foam that will form during cooking.

8. STEP 8

   

   After half an hour, add apples to the jam. Stir and cook the jam for about 15 minutes. Don't forget to remove the foam.

9. STEP 9

   

   Here you can look at the state of the jam itself. Drop a small amount of hot syrup onto a saucer and wait until it cools. The finished jam will not have a drop of it spread.

10. STEP 10

    

    Prepare the jars in which you will store the jam. Sterilize them in any way. You can do it in the microwave, you can do it in the oven, you can do it over steam. Boil the lids. Pour hot jam into dry jars. Close them with lids immediately. If you use non-screw caps, close them with a special key.

11. STEP 11

    

    Turn the jars over and leave them to cool at room temperature. This way you will further sterilize the lids. From this quantity of products I got about 750 ml of finished jam.

Lately we have been recharging ourselves with vitamins from the very tasty and healthy lingonberry. This time I found a recipe on the website for lingonberry jam with apples for the winter. Cooked from half the ingredients. After 15 minutes of cooking the lingonberries, I added apples, cut into small pieces. After that I boiled it for another 15 minutes. I decided to end it here, even though the jam was still liquid. After cooling, it thickened noticeably, and after cooling in the refrigerator it became quite thick like jam. I liked the taste of this combination. You can feel the lingonberry bitterness and sourness of the apples. Sugar in moderation, not cloying. I especially liked the color of the apples; the pieces were soaked in beautiful red syrup) Very tasty jam, perfect with tea in winter. Thank you very much for the recipe!
