Thick jam from wild apples

Ingredients

Servings

Ranetki

1 kg
Sugar

1 kg
Water

50 ml

Preparation

Step 1

Trim off any bruised or badly damaged parts from the apples, then cut them into random pieces. Place everything in a suitable saucepan.

Step 2

Sprinkle the apples with sugar and shake them back and forth to distribute the sugar between the pieces. Then add water. If desired, add a few more whole apples for a more beautiful effect. Pierce them with a toothpick and trim the stems to prevent them from breaking.

Step 3

Heat over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the apples release their juices. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat to allow the apples to soak and cool for another 2 hours.

Step 4

Repeat the quick-boil and cool process twice more and let it cool completely. During this time, thoroughly wash the jars and lids, first with dishwashing liquid, then with baking soda, but use very hot water. Once everything is ready, pour the jam into the jars right up to the neck and seal with boiled lids.

Step 5

The thick, wild apple jam is ready. You can store it at room temperature for 8-10 months without worrying about it spoiling.

Sign the banks

Jam can be stored on the shelf for up to two years. However, after six months to a year, it gradually begins to lose flavor. If you preserve jam frequently, be sure to label the contents and the date it was made. This way, you'll always know what to eat first.
