Lingonberry jam with apples and cinnamon

Ingredients

Servings

Apples

10 pcs
Cowberry

800 G
Lemon juice

2 tbsp
Cinnamon

1 tbsp
Sugar

600 G
Brown sugar

200 G
Water

200 ml

Preparation

Step 1

Place the washed lingonberries in a saucepan. Add peeled and sliced apples on top. The apple slices can be any shape you like. Sprinkle with both types of sugar and pour in water.

Step 2

Place the saucepan on the stove. Turn on the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring the bottom berry layer constantly.

Step 3

Once the jam has boiled and released more juice, add the lemon juice and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly and let it simmer for another minute.

Step 4

At this point, the jam is ready. If you want a smooth, creamy jam, puree the entire contents in a blender right in the pan, simmer briefly, and then pour into jars.

The lingonberries should be on the bottom.

The recipe's key feature is that only the berries are submerged in water at the initial stage. They require more time than apples to simmer to the desired consistency. While they simmer, the apple slices are infused with the aromatic berry steam.
