Classic Homemade Apple Jam
How to Make Fragrant and Sweet Apple Jam That Pairs Perfectly with Everything
Whip up this delicious apple jam with just 3 simple ingredients! Let’s make some sweet homemade apple jam!
Ingredients- 2 Apples (medium-sized, choose sweet varieties)
- 230g Granulated Sugar (adjust according to apple sweetness)
- 3g Ground Cinnamon
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the apples thoroughly. Remove the core and seeds, then dice them into approximately 1-1.5 cm cubes. Keeping the peels on will give the jam a prettier color and add more nutrients.
Step 2
Place the diced apples into a pot and add all the granulated sugar. Sugar helps draw out moisture from the apples and aids in thickening.
Step 3
Using a spatula or spoon, stir the apples and sugar together until well combined. Place the pot over medium-low heat and simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, or until the apples soften and release their juices. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom.
Step 4
Once the apples are tender, stir in the ground cinnamon. Cinnamon adds a deeper, more fragrant flavor to the apples. You can adjust the amount to your liking or omit it.
Step 5
Continue to simmer, stirring, for another 5-10 minutes, or until the jam thickens to your desired consistency. It’s ready when it slowly drizzles off the spatula. Remember, the jam will thicken further as it cools. Transfer the hot jam into pre-sterilized glass jars, seal tightly, and refrigerate.
