Paradise apple jam The old fashioned way
The apples retain their shape and you can actually pick them up by the tails! The recipe is taken from the book “Practical Fundamentals of Culinary Art” by P.P. Alexandrova-Ignatieva, 1909.
Step-by-step preparation
STEP 1

Having selected good, not particularly ripe Chinese apples, cut off a few stems, cut off the beards and pierce them through with a wooden peg. This is done so that the apples are saturated with syrup. The apples were blanched in boiling water for 3 minutes and not cooled. Transfer the apples to the syrup.
STEP 2

The jam was cooked in 4 steps. Boil in light syrup for 4-5 days, letting it boil once every day. It is best to cook the jam in a copper basin and stir with a wooden spoon. When the apples are ready, they will become completely transparent, and the syrup should become thick. Place the finished jam into clean (dry) jars, previously scalded with boiling water, and close with lids. It is better to store in a cool place.
