Transparent apple jam slices

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make clear apple jam? Prepare the necessary products. Measure out the sugar after cutting the apples. It is better to take apples that are not too hard, but not too loose - it is important for us that the slices retain their shape after cooking. Choose sweetness to your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the apples thoroughly and wipe dry. First cut them into quarters and remove the core. Then cut them into thin slices. The thinner the slices, the more beautiful the jam will be. I don’t recommend cutting off the skin; the slices may fall apart during cooking, and you will get jam, not clear jam.

3. STEP 3

   

   Now the chopped apples need to be weighed. And measure out exactly the same amount of sugar. Sprinkle apple slices with this sugar. It is better to do this immediately in the container in which the jam will be cooked. Leave the covered apples for 12 hours. This is necessary for the apples to give juice.

4. STEP 4

   

   After the allotted time, we see that a lot of juice has been released. Place the bowl with apples on the fire and start heating, lightly stirring the future jam with a wooden spatula until the sugar is completely dissolved. There is no need to disturb the jam too much, so as not to break the tender apple slices.

5. STEP 5

   

   Bring the jam to a boil and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Let the jam cool completely. I just left it for 8 hours.

7. STEP 7

   

   Put the jam back on the fire and bring it to a boil again. You can stir the mixture slightly so that the apples cook more evenly. Leave it to stand again for 8 hours. Then repeat the process again - bring to a boil, boil. And then you need to look at the state of the jam. If it is already thick and a drop of it does not spread on the saucer, then stop cooking. If the syrup is still liquid, then cook the jam not for 5 minutes, but for 15, until it thickens.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cool the finished jam and pour into clean jars. It is not necessary to sterilize them; such jam is stored well, there is a lot of sugar and acid in apples. Enjoy your tea!

I happened to have a whole bucket of small apples; I urgently needed to prepare some of these apples for the winter. I froze some of it and made clear apple jam into slices from the rest. The longest thing is to cut all the apples) I didn’t peel the peel so that the slices wouldn’t boil over, as the author advises. The apples were layered with sugar to release more juice. I left it in the refrigerator overnight, after which the apple slices literally floated in the sling) I also cooked it twice. After the first one, almost all the slices became transparent. They cooled and soaked in syrup for almost 10 hours. The second time I had already brought the jam to readiness, focusing on the caramel color of the apples and thickness. The apple slices according to this recipe turned out really transparent. The jam is delicious, sweet, fragrant. Thanks for the recipe!
