Paradise apple jam without stems

Ingredients

Servings

Ranetki

1 kg
Sugar

1 kg
Water

250 ml

Preparation

Step 1

Place the sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until all the sugar grains dissolve. Cook for about 4 minutes from the moment it boils.

Step 2

Wash the apples, cut off the stems, and prick each one in 2-3 places to prevent them from bursting during cooking. Rinse again in a basin or under running water. Then pour hot syrup over the apples and press them down to warm them. Let the apples soak overnight.

Step 3

Now place the saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and simmer without stirring for 5 minutes. At the end of cooking, skim off any foam with a spoon or paper towels placed on the surface of the syrup. Let the apples cool completely for a day.

Step 4

Cook the apples again for about 5 minutes from the moment they come to a boil over medium heat and skim off any foam. Then let them cool overnight.

Step 5

Repeat the cooking process in the morning, also for 5 minutes over medium heat. The apples will be whole, juicy, and translucent.

Step 6

Place the stemless paradise apples in pre-sterilized jars, then pour the syrup evenly into them. Screw the jars shut, turn them upside down, and wrap them tightly. Let them cool for 8-12 hours. Afterward, store the jars on the balcony, if you have one, or in a pantry.

Apples can be boiled without additional steeping. You'll get a standard jam that's delicious and aromatic. But it's the syrup soaking that gives these paradise apples a more candied flavor, rather than the soft and boring traditional fruit.
