Dried apple jam

Ingredients

Servings

Apples

2 kg
Sugar

1 kg
Water

200 ml

Preparation

Step 1

Peel and slice the apples, then dry them in a dehydrator or in the oven at 100°C for about 1 hour. Alternatively, you can use pre-dried fruit.

Step 2

In the morning, prepare a syrup from sugar and water over medium heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the apples and bring to a boil over high heat, then let cool overnight. Repeat this process 3 times.

Step 3

On the second day in the morning, the apple slices will return to their dried fruit form, but will be soaked in syrup, which will remain clear.

Step 4

Boil the dried apple jam again and place it in jars washed with baking soda. First, arrange the apple slices, then spread the syrup. This way, each jar will contain an equal number of apples.

The recipe is the other way around

If you first boil the apples three times in syrup, as directed in the recipe, then let them drain and dry, you'll have real candied fruit. They can be stored as dried jam in a jar all winter and added sparingly to baked goods, porridge, compotes, or simply eaten as a candy substitute.
