To those housewives who have their own home, country cottage area, vegetable garden, garden, the issue of preserving a generous harvest becomes urgent. After all, for example, fresh apples barely “survive” until the end of winter (meaning hard varieties), and even then only under the condition of proper storage. Besides, you can’t eat too many fresh apples. That’s why all kinds of canned food is prepared from them: juices, preserves, jams. Dried fruits are also popular. And such aromatic, sparkling with the sun, delicious apple jam is an excellent raw material for pies, compotes, desserts and other dishes. In addition, it can simply be consumed with tea, milk or cocoa.
From the history
In former times, apple jam for the winter was cooked no earlier than the nineteenth of August (during Yablochnogo Savior when we were spending the summer). It was believed that before this time the apples were not yet fully ripened, and ahead of schedule our ancestors did not eat them. That's how it was from time immemorial. In addition, jam, pies with these fruits and other dishes on holidays were supposed to be blessed in church, and only then eaten. Every girl in any village had to know how to make apple jam. Recipes were passed down orally from grandmothers to mothers, from mothers to daughters - from generation to generation.
Preparatory work
How to make apple jam in modern home conditions to make a beautiful, healthy, and tasty dessert? Cooking recipes Jams and preserves are quite simple and do not require high qualifications from the cook. The main thing is to follow simple recommendations, and this dish will become one of your favorites.
First you need to prepare the raw material - apples. Fruits of various sweet and sour varieties are suitable. The fruits must be thoroughly washed, sorted, inspected for rot, and peeled and cored. Then cut them into slices or cubes. You also need to prepare sugar and water (it is best to take spring or purified water).
What to cook in?
How to make apple jam and, most importantly, what to use? A canned product should ideally retain not only the taste and smell of the fruit, but also beneficial features(for example, vitamins). In the past, jam was traditionally made in copper basins with wooden handles. It was considered special chic to have such cooking utensils. But what happens to the vitamins in the copper basin? It turned out that even a small amount of copper ions “kills”, for example, ascorbic acid. And copper oxides, dissolved by fruit acids, end up in the prepared product!
Aluminum cookware is also not suitable: the jam is acidic enough to destroy the oxide film on the surface of the cookware. In this case, some amount of aluminum will inevitably end up in the dish itself. This can even cause poisoning with your favorite product.
Will do enamel cookware, however, remember that at high temperatures the enamel can break off and get into the cooked food. Bottom line: the best for making jam is considered (according to modern data) to be dishes made from of stainless steel. If you are going to prepare more than one jar of delicacy, you will have to take a large saucepan with a lid of about ten liters or a basin.
Classic recipe
If you decide to make apple jam, recipes for the delicacy can be found in abundance in culinary reference books. The most traditional, classic (as our grandmothers cooked): per kilogram of apples - a kilogram of sugar and a couple of glasses of water.
Pour the sugar into a cooking bowl, add water, bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Pour the prepared apples into slices into the resulting syrup. The jam must be cooked in several batches, stirring carefully so as not to damage the structure, until the slices reach transparency. Just before the jam is ready, you can add the zest of one lemon to taste, cinnamon, and vanillin.
Signs of readiness
A drop of syrup poured onto a plate does not spread and retains its shape.
Pieces of fruit are distributed evenly inside the syrup without floating to the top.
The syrup has a clear and uniform consistency.
Apple jam "Pyatiminutka"
This cooking option will require much less sugar: for one kilogram of apples - three hundred grams of sand. Wash, peel and core the apples. Cut into strips or coarsely grate. Sprinkle with sugar, let stand until the juice releases, put on the stove and bring to a boil over low heat. Stirring lightly, cook for fifteen minutes. After this, such “Five Minute” jam can be packaged in jars and rolled up with lids, having previously sterilized the dishes. Advantages: as a result of short preparation, this delicacy retains a maximum of vitamins and nutrients.
Apple jam slices
Ingredients: per kilogram of apples - a kilogram of sugar and one and a half to two glasses of water, cinnamon and vanilla to taste, a pinch of soda.
We prepare the apples: peel the cores, remove the peel, wash them, and cut them into beautiful slices. To prevent them from falling apart during the cooking process, you now need to soak them in water with the addition of baking soda overnight (a pinch of soda per liter of water), pressing something heavy on top.
Prepare the syrup: boil water, pouring sugar into it (if the apples are sweet varieties, reduce the amount of the ingredient). It must be completely dissolved.
We rinse the apple slices from soda and place them in syrup. Cook in a wide bowl, periodically removing the foam and without stirring for about half an hour from the moment of boiling.
We prepare the dishes: sterilize the jars and lids. By the way, this can also be done in the microwave. Pour some water into a clean half-liter jar and turn on the device at full power for two minutes.
Pour the hot product into a bowl and close it. An interesting observation: you usually get as much jam as you used the sugar you used to prepare it (plus a little left over for testing, of course). It's so easy to calculate that if you used three kilograms of sugar, then you will need six half-liter jars.
Now you know, at home using traditional simple recipes. Let the sunny delicacy remind you of the past summer!

Early autumn has the scent of apples. It is sweet, piercing and fresh, like first love. The rays of the sun gild the apples.Gusts of wind raise the first fallen leaves in a whirlwind of intricate dance.At such a time, you definitely want to make clear Amber apple jam in slices.
There has been an incredible increase in apple production this year. The branches not only bend, but even break under the enormous weight of countless fruits. Most often, I simply freeze apples, cut into slices, for the winter. They make excellent ones. I make jam in small quantities. My husband and I eat it as a rare delicacy.
Any apples will do to make amber jam. Early and late, white and brown, green and red. The main thing is that they are juicy, not wrinkled, not broken. Even from carrion it is possible to make apple jam of excellent quality. You just need to cut out all the unsuitable places from the fruit.
How to make clear amber jam from apples in slices
Food preparation
To make amber transparent jam from apples in slices for the winter, you need to take fruits of suitable quality and wash them thoroughly under running clean water.
Cut in half, remove the centers. Seed nests can be removed using special device. If you have this kitchen gadget, then feel free to put it to use. If not, then use an ordinary small knife.
Cut into slices of small thickness. Here you need to guess. If you cut them too thin, they will be damaged during cooking. If you chop it too thickly, you won’t achieve the desired transparency. Three millimeters is quite an appropriate thickness in my humble opinion.
In a separate bowl, dissolve baking soda in cool water, pour the baking soda solution over the prepared apple slices for three to four hours. The soda solution will help ensure that the pieces do not become overcooked during cooking and become transparent. You can also put a lid on top of the apples that is smaller in diameter than the pan. This will prevent the slices from floating.
Drain the soda solution, rinse the slices thoroughly under running water. At the same time, shake them carefully to thoroughly rinse the solution from all the pieces.
On a note
Don't mix the mixture! Otherwise we will break all the pieces.
We calmly go about our business or go to bed. We need to wait for a lot of juice to form in which the apple slices will float. This will take six to eight hours. The duration of the process will depend on the juiciness of the apples, the thickness of the slices, room temperature, variety and other factors. All other things being equal, the process will go faster in a warm room.
How to cook
Place the apples that have released their juice on gas stove. Turn on the highest heat. Warm up without stirring. When the mixture boils, carefully drown the floating specimens with a wooden spoon.
Be sure to cook over high heat without stirring. Periodically, carefully shake the container to the left and then to the right. Otherwise, the slices will become soggy and you will end up with apple jam, not amber jam. Five minutes after the start of boiling, turn off the heat. The photo shows the future jam after the first cooking.
The exposure must last at least six hours. Or better yet, eight to ten hours. During the “rest”, the slices energetically absorb sugar syrup with their entire body, gradually increasing their number “drowning” in it.
We must repeat the process of cooking for five minutes and holding it another three to four times. If it seems to you that the jam is already quite transparent and its color is amber, then the cooking is finished. During the last boiling, bring the syrup to a drop that holds its shape.
Place the boiling mass into sterile jars, roll up the lids, turn over, and cool. Then we put the jars on shelves in the pantry and admire the fruits of our labor.

My comments
Apple jam in slices turns out to be a beautiful amber color, with transparent slices. But it's not fragrant enough. Only the sweet delicacy from Antonovka has an intense, pleasant aroma.

You need to rinse the fruits only under running water, allowing the water to drain in a colander. Cut out the cores, remove the seeds and tails so that nothing unnecessary comes across in the dish.
- If you want to preserve the fruit light color, you need to blanch them in salted soda for 3 minutes before processing.
- As additional ingredients, in addition to apples and sweetener, all kinds of spices (cinnamon, ginger, vanilla), fruits and berries (orange, plums, lemon, raspberries) are used. All ingredients must be selected, without rot or spoiled areas.
- It is better to take refined sugar.
- The dish is ready if the syrup becomes golden, uniform in color and structure. Check the readiness of the syrup, drop by drop on a clean plate: if it drains too quickly, the dish is not ready yet.
- The mixture must be constantly stirred and the foam removed. If these are slices, then carefully transfer them with a spoon so that the top layer sinks into the liquid. You need to lower the fruit periodically so that the top does not remain soggy.
- The cooling process in jars should be gradual. You need to follow the instructions: immediately rinse, sterilize, and dry the jars. Then spread the jam after heat treatment in a saucepan (basin, multicooker), roll up the lids of the workpieces, leave until completely cooled under a blanket or jacket. You cannot pour it into jars above the main container, otherwise the glass may burst and the fragments will ruin the dessert.
- You can deviate from the recipe, bring the dish to the desired consistency: pour boiled drinking water(this may be necessary if the mass is too thick), prepare your favorite spices and their mixtures, and adjust the amount of sugar.
