INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup chopped Apple
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1.5 cup Water
  • 1 small piece of Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon Powder
  • 1 -2 Clove (Optional)

METHOD:

Wash the apples, peel and remove the stalks. Dice the apples (shapes don’t matter) and put in a pan with the lemon juice, cloves, cinnamon stick and water.cover the lid and cook on low heat until the apples are tender and reduced to a pulp. After 15-20 minutes of cooking, when the apples have lost their color and start to look opaque, they’re done.

Take the apples off the heat and sieve them to the last drop! you will sieve out cinnamon, cloves, and all the unwanted stuff. What you’re left with is pure pulp.
Put the pulp in a non stick pan and add the sugar, Cinnamon Powder. Let the sugar melt on low heat. Once the sugar melts and the mixture looks smooth to you, bring it to a roaring boil and keep stirring. The jam has to boil for 2-3 minutes with constant stirring.
How to check  whether jam is done or not.
Take a teaspoon of the hot jam onto the cold plate and let it rest for 30 seconds. Tip bowl to one side; jam should be a soft gel that moves slightly. If mixture is thin and runs down side of bowl, the gel is too soft.  it is done.
If You feel its over cooked or over dry.. sprinkle some drops of water over it and cook for couple of seconds again.
