Apple peels contain many nutrients and, more importantly for this recipe, pectin. This natural thickener ensures the right consistency. Apple peels are typically discarded to create a softer and more uniform texture. But this recipe utilizes all the ingredients to the fullest.

If desired, you can add citrus zest, whole cinnamon, ginger, cloves, or nutmeg to the apples. They will add new notes to the classic flavor. Just remember to remove the spices before mashing the apples.

Apple jam in a slow cooker for the winter

Ingredients

Servings

Apples

1 kg
Sugar

500 G
Water

200 ml

Preparation

Step 1

We prepare all the necessary ingredients.

Step 2

Peel the apples and place them in the multicooker bowl. Fill with water and turn on the "Steam" setting for 10 minutes. This will allow the apple peels to soften, after which you can discard them, saving only the cooking liquid.

Step 3

Sprinkle peeled apples with sugar and mix.

Step 4

Set the multicooker to the “Bake” mode for 30 minutes, stir the contents of the bowl, and then select “Rice/cereals/pilaf” for another 40 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the apples to another bowl and mash with a potato masher or quickly blend in a blender. After this, the jam is ready to be rolled into sterilized jars.

In her video, Polina shares a fascinating recipe for a delicate cinnamon apple dessert. It's a clear demonstration of how soft jam can be when processed in a slow cooker. Simply use a spoon to turn some of the fruit into a smooth puree.

Use the right spoons

The protective coating on multicooker bowls is usually very thin and easily damaged by metal objects. It's best to stir the apples with wooden or plastic spoons to ensure you can easily make simple jam again and again.

Label the lids

I make a lot of apple preserves, so it's a good idea to label them. Simply mark the lid or label them. This way, you'll know exactly which ones are pure apple jams and which ones are flavored with spices or citrus.
