Chinese jam "Five-minute"

Ingredients

Servings

Apples

1 kg
Sugar

1 kg
Water

100 ml

Preparation

Step 1

We sort the Chinese apples, remove the leaves, but leave the stems on, trimming them with kitchen scissors if necessary. Rinse the apples in a bowl and place them in a saucepan.

Step 2

Sprinkle with sugar and add water. Place on the stove and heat over low heat.

Step 3

As soon as the sugar begins to melt, begin stirring from the bottom up so that it does not accumulate on the bottom and evenly covers the Chinese dish.

Step 4

Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes. Skim off any foam halfway through the cooking time with a spoon or by placing paper towels on the surface.

Step 5

As soon as the apples are evenly heated and soaked in the amber syrup, turn off the burner.

Step 6

The "Five-Minute" Chinese cherries jam is ready. Transfer it to an airtight jar and seal.

If you want to jar this jam, add ½ teaspoon of citric acid or simmer it for 15 minutes longer. This will make the jam ideal for long-term storage throughout the cold season from fall to spring.
