Brown porcini jam in slices for the winter

Ingredients

Servings

Apples

1 kg
Sugar

1 kg
Cinnamon

2 tsp

Preparation

Step 1

We wash the apples and immediately remove the seeds. We weigh them peeled and sliced.

Step 2

Cut them into quarters, then into 0.5 mm slices, and then cut into 2-3 pieces, depending on the apples' size. Alternatively, cut them into thin, small pieces. Immediately add the sugar and shake until it settles to the bottom.

Step 3

We leave the bowl with apples in the refrigerator overnight so that the slices release juice and dissolve the sugar.

Step 4

Place everything in a saucepan, set over low heat, and simmer until boiling. Press down gently with a spatula to sink the wedges to the bottom. Meanwhile, prepare the jars, rinsing and sterilizing them.

Step 5

When the apple slices become translucent and the syrup takes on a beautiful amber hue, add ground cinnamon. If you don't like this spice, skip this step.

Step 6

Pour the jam into the jars in small portions, allowing them to warm up gradually. Seal immediately with any lids: screw-on or metal.

Don't skip the step of steeping the apple slices in the refrigerator overnight. This is necessary to extract maximum juice from the cinnamon apples. The sugar draws it out over several hours. Using juice instead of water makes the jam much more concentrated and delicious.
