Apple jam "Five minutes" with cinnamon

Ingredients

Servings

Apples

1 kg
Sugar

600 G
Cinnamon

1 tsp

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the apples into not-too-thin slices and sprinkle with sugar. Don't try to make them too thin, otherwise they'll fall apart when cooked.

Step 2

Let the apples sit at room temperature for 2 hours. It's okay to leave them overnight, though. During this time, the fruit will release a generous amount of juice. If this doesn't happen, add about 200-300 ml of water per serving.

Step 3

Place the pan over low heat, bring to a boil, and simmer for 5 minutes. Let them cool for 2 hours.

Step 4

Then repeat the process: bring the syrup to a boil and cook the apples for 5 minutes. Then let cool for 2 hours. Add the cinnamon.

Step 5

Cook the jam for another 5 minutes and then seal it in boiling jars, previously sterilized.

Step 6

The quick apple jam is ready. Delicate and marmalade-like, it will exceed all expectations.

Add some spices

In addition to cinnamon, you can safely add cloves, star anise, nutmeg, or citrus zest to the apples. However, to avoid making the jam too spicy, try adding the spices whole and then removing them from the syrup. This way, they will impart just the right amount of flavor.
