Our Family's Apple Jam
- 3 Apple (about 400 g)
- 1/2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 Cinnamon powder
- 130 grams Soft light brown sugar (30% of the weight of the apple)
- Cut the apples into 6 equal parts, peel, then cut into 5 mm thick slices.
- Weigh the apples, then put them in a pot.
- Sprinkle on soft light brown sugar measured at 30% the weight of the apples, then let sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Put the jam jars and lids in a large pot of water, then bring to a boil to sterilize.
- Use tongs to remove them from the water so that you don't burn yourself.
- When moisture is released from the apples, simmer on medium heat, mixing with a wooden spoon.
- After 20 minutes of simmering, add the lemon juice, then reduce to low heat after 10 minutes.
- Be careful not to burn it.
- Once the liquid starts to thicken, remove from heat, then transfer to jars.
- The jam will thicken once you chill it in the refrigerator, so be careful not to simmer for too long!
- After tightly sealing the lids, turn the jars upside-down to release the air from inside, then it's ready.
- Although this will make the jars nearly vacuum packed, it's best to consume the jam as soon as possible.
- Spread it on toasted English muffins.
- Transforming them into dessert!
- Leave out the cinnamon, and add a bit of rum when finished, to make an "adult" jam.
- Here is wedge-shaped apple jam.
- Use it as topping for pancakes with butter.
