Remove the seeds from washed autumn apples and cut them into large cubes, dividing the quarters into 2-3 pieces. Sprinkle with sugar, lift the pan, and shake it from right to left to distribute the sugar from top to bottom. Stir gently and leave on the counter overnight to allow the apples to release their juices.
Place the pan over medium heat and cook from the moment it boils for 5 minutes, without stirring.
Finely grate a piece of fresh ginger, add it to the cooked apples, and stir. Let it cool completely at room temperature.
The jam will thicken due to the release of pectin. Return the pan to the heat and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, starting from a boil.
Grate the zest of one lemon and squeeze out the lemon juice. Add to the jam, stir, cook for another 5 minutes, and turn off the heat.
The apple jam with ginger and lemon is ready. Seal it in sterilized jars and store.
