Apple jam with blackberries and agar-agar

Apple jam is usually made without thickeners. Natural pectin thickens it perfectly, especially when citrus or sour berries are added to the fruit. But adding a little agar to the mixture creates a more interesting consistency.

    1 tsp
  • Sugar
    500 G
  • Agar-agar
    3 tsp

Preparation

Step 1

Rinse the blackberries in a colander and let them dry thoroughly. Immediately place the berries in the pot in which you will cook them.

Step 2

Add the apples, cut into half wedges and previously mixed with lemon juice. Sprinkle with sugar and mix gently. Set aside for 2 hours.

Step 3

Place the pan over medium heat, bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a soft flexible spatula.

Step 4

Dissolve agar-agar in cold water and turn on the heat under the pan.

Step 5

When the jam comes to a boil, pour in the agar mixture and stir well. Cook for 5 minutes.

Step 6

The blackberry-apple jam is ready. Place it in sterilized jars and seal. To prevent them from bursting, place a knife under the bottom of the jar while pouring the jam.

Agar is thermoreversible
The main advantage of agar-agar is that you can correct any mistakes you make. If the mixture turns out too runny, heat it up and add a little more thickener. Conversely, adding syrup to hot jam can thin out an overly thick mixture. When cooled to 40 degrees Celsius, it will set quickly, allowing you to test the result immediately.
