Antonovka jam with walnuts

Ingredients

Servings

Apples

1 kg
Sugar

250 G
Walnuts

250 G
Lemon

1 pcs
Bay leaf

1 pcs
Allspice

2 pcs
Water

150 ml

Preparation

Step 1

Wash the lemon under running water with a brush, then cut into slices. Peel the washed apples and chop into random pieces.

Step 2

Place the lemon wedges in a saucepan and top with the apples. Add the spices and water.

Step 3

Sprinkle sugar on top and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, maintaining a simmer. Stir very carefully and only once.

Step 4

Remove the lemon slices, bay leaves, and peppercorns with a spoon. Then add the coarsely chopped walnuts. If they are bitter, first blanch them in boiling water and peel off the skins. Cook for another 10 minutes.

Step 5

The apple and walnut jam is ready. Place it in sterilized jars and seal for the winter, or let it steep and serve with tea.

Use spice bags

Peppercorns can be quite tricky to remove from jam. To make things easier, sew a simple linen bag and stuff all the spices inside. You can simmer it quietly, then quickly remove it in one motion. This can be done with any spices that need to be removed from the finished dessert.
