Step 1

Peel and wash the apples, cut them into cubes, and place them in a bowl. Add sugar, cut the lemon in half, and squeeze the juice from each half. Mix well, cover, and let sit for 7 hours.

Step 2

Place the mixture over medium heat and heat until the sugar dissolves. Grate the lemon zest, being careful not to remove the white part, and add it to the bowl while it's still cooking.

Step 3

Then grate the ginger and add it to the apples.

Step 5

Pour the hot jam into jars and close with lids.

A few words about spices

To ensure delicious apple jam, it's important to use a minimal amount of ginger. Therefore, it's best to choose a piece no more than 3-4 cm thick, otherwise the jam will be bitter. Also, before squeezing the lemon, remove all the seeds to prevent them from getting into the apples.
