Paradise apple jam with citric acid – a recipe for the topping and layering with step-by-step photos

When adding citric acid to jam, don't assume it's a harmful chemical. In fact, the white powder is a natural substance extracted from lemon juice. Therefore, they can always be substituted at a rate of 1 g of acid per 10 ml of juice. This rule applies to any recipe.

Paradise apple jam with citric acid

Ingredients

Servings

Ranetki

1 kg
Sugar

1 kg
Water

250 ml
Citric acid

3 G

Preparation

Step 1

Rinse the apples thoroughly under running water and pierce the base with the sharp end of a skewer, an olive fork, or any other sharp object. Be sure to trim the stems to prevent them from breaking during cooking. Fill a large bowl or saucepan with water and simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl.

Step 2

Combine sugar and water in a suitable container and cook the syrup.

Step 3

Add the apples to the boiling syrup, cook for 10 minutes and let them cool for about 4 hours.

Step 4

We repeat the process of cooking and cooling with the same time intervals.

Step 5

When the apples have cooled to a warm state, place them in sterilized jars.

Step 6

If desired, set aside some of the paradise apple jam for tasting. Colorful and amber-colored, it will be a hit with everyone invited for tea.

Why leave tails?

Usually, the stems of fruits and berries are removed. They only spoil the flavor of the preserve and interfere with the enjoyment of the jam. But with crab apples, it's the opposite. The crab apples are usually served separately from the syrup. The stems are needed so you can pick up the candied crab apples and eat them without getting dirty.
