Pink Hued Apple Jam using Red Gold Apples
- 2 Red Apples
- 175 grams Granulated sugar
- 1/2 Lemon
- 200 ml Water
- First, start with boiling a preservation jar to sterilize.
- Put in the tepid water and then bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes.
- Then put it on a clean towel to air dry.
- Use red apples.
- These are Red Gold apples from Hokkaido and Aomori Prefectures.
- They're red right through to the core.
- Wash the apples well and peel.
- This apple's fruity flesh is even red.
- Squeeze lemon juice.
- Heat the peel, water, and lemon juice on medium-low heat to extract the flavor.
- The juice will be this red.
- This is the strained juice.
- I obtained this beautiful red colored juice.
- While the peels are simmering, cut the apples into 8 pieces, and then slice into 2-3 mm pieces.
- They boil easier if they're cut very very thin.
- Add the rest of the lemon juice and granulated sugar.
- Heat on medium heat.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, add the fruit juice.
- Increase the heat to medium to low heat.
- There will be scum that surfaces, so gently scoop it off.
- While the apples are simmering, use a wooden spatula to make a cutting motion and mush the apples.
- Simmer until they have become transparent and thick.
- It's fine if you lower the heat to medium.
- And it's done!
- Pour into jars while its still hot, and then it's done.
- Since Red Gold apples have nectar, they are sweet and tender and easy to boil.
