It is always sad when the apples are not ripe, fall to the ground. It is impossible to eat scavenger, because green apples are sour and tart, and this is not to mention their rigidity. Most gardeners, sighing sadly, bury the scavenger in the pit, sadly glancing at the not numerous remaining apples on the tree, bury the dreams of a rich harvest and a full pantry with sunsets.
And this is absolutely in vain. From green apples, you can cook wonderful jam, which some call "amber slices", or "caramel slices." For their preparation just need green, unripe apples with a dense structure. Overripe and friable apples are suitable only for jam and jam, which is also tasty, but not so beautiful.
So. To make jam from green apples, we need:
Wash the apples, cut them into slices and remove the core. It is not necessary to peel the peel, it will not interfere and will not spoil the jam.
Put the sliced \u200b\u200bapples in a saucepan and sprinkle with sugar. Stir well by shaking and leave the pan overnight.
The chances that there will be a lot of juice before morning are not many, because these are green apples, but in any case, the slices are better saturated with sugar.
Tilt the pan and see if the juice stands out? If it is not enough, then it is worth adding a glass of water, if the apples are floating and not enough to the top just a little, then you can do without excess fluid.
Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook the slices for 15-20 minutes, after which, let the jam "rest" and cool. To achieve transparent "amber" slices, you need to cook jam in 3-4 approaches: boil for 20 minutes - 4-5 hours of cooling. The number of “approaches” depends on the variety of apples, the thickness of the slices and much more.
Amber slices apple jam is incredibly tasty and beautiful. It would never occur to anyone that it was made from nobody useless carrion.
Such jam is stored for about 2 years in a cool place, but nothing will happen to him in the kitchen cabinet for a year or even more.

Today's recipe is simpler than ever - thick apple jam, what could be tastier ?! What apples to take to get thick jam?
The apples must be ripe and, very importantly, they must not be hard, in our case the apples are “loose” and ripe, which is very good. The flesh quickly boils and gives the density we need, and if the fruits are firm, sometimes even after a long cooking they remain intact. If you want apple jam to be very well preserved, add a little more sugar and then you will be sure of its safety! In a simple recipe there is vanilla in it, it was added only for aroma, you can do without it or add your favorite aromas that combine perfectly with apples, for example, cinnamon or cardamom.
For jam, you can even use spoiled fruits, they will still need to be cut into slices. And so, rinse the apples, cut the slices, removing the core and “legs”. If the apple has too hard peel, it will be better if you cut it, otherwise it will not be very nice, there is a treat in which hard pieces will come across. Pour the prepared fruits into a deep bowl and add sugar to the apples, add vanilla or vanilla sugar. Mix everything thoroughly so that each slice is sprinkled with sugar. Leave on for 4 to 5 hours.
During this time, apples will give juice, and sugar will begin to dissolve.
Place a pan of apples on a slow fire and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool.
Then put the apple jam on a medium heat again and cook, after boiling for another 15 minutes. Be sure to stir the mass, as it will start to boil and there is a risk that it will burn.
In a hot form, distribute all the jam in clean jars, which it is desirable to sterilize and dry. In order to prevent mold from forming on the surface of the jam in the jar, which sometimes happens, pour sugar on top of the jam. And close the lids, it can be a simple plastic lid or a tin under the seaming machine. Apple jam can immediately be sent for storage to a cool room.
Apples are one of the most delicious and common fruits on the Russian table. It makes jam, jam, compote, apples are frozen, dried, and even pickled. But the main delicacy is, of course, jam. Apple jam is rich, sweet, tasty and appetizing. In winter, it gives a tart taste and summer aroma. Jam can be used as a separate dessert, can be used as a filling for pies and rolls, pancakes, pancakes and casseroles are served with jam. To roll up at least a few jars of apple jam for the winter is the duty of any good housewife. But what is the use of apple brew? Are vitamins preserved after heat treatment? Let's try to figure everything out in order.
Apples are an incredibly tasty and healthy fruit that nourishes the body with a palette of vitamins and minerals. In order for the fruit to retain all the beneficial properties, it must be boiled correctly. Keep the apple mass on fire for no longer than five minutes, so that the microbes die, and prolonged exposure to high temperatures does not affect the benefit of the product. In this case, apple jam will be no less useful than fresh fruits. How does an apple affect the human body?
This is a traditional recipe for apple jam, which will not only delight you with a deep taste, but also preserve all the benefits of fruit treats.
This is a classic recipe for making natural and healthy apple jam.
If some people prefer soft and boiled jam, others like more decorated fruit slices in syrup. To cook such a treat is not difficult, you just need to know some of the subtleties.
Cut the peeled apple into slices of at least 3 cm. Then dilute a teaspoon of baking soda in five liters of water. Soak the apple slices in this solution so that the slices remain strong and elastic until the end of cooking. Hold the apples in a soda solution for 5 minutes, and then drop the apples in a colander. Such a trick will allow you not only to keep apple slices intact, but also will not change the color of future jam. After cooking, the apple will not darken, but will remain transparent amber.
Next, cook the apples, as in the previous recipe. Pour fruit with sugar, leave for several hours. Then bring the apple jam to a boil, let cool. Heat the jam 2-3 times. At the end, you can finish off a handful of mountain ash, currants, dark grapes. This will give the syrup a delicate pink tint, while the apples that have become caramel remain light. The unusual color of the jam will look beautiful and appetizing. At the end, let the jam cook for 15 minutes, so that all the ingredients seize, and then roll the dessert into jars, as usual.
This recipe was very popular several decades ago, when there were shortages of sugar. In those days, sugar was successfully replaced by honey. From this apple jam became incredibly fragrant and rich.
The most popular recipe is applesauce with honey. For him, the apples were peeled and placed in a clay pot. Then the fruit had to be baked and rubbed through a sieve. Two glasses of this puree should be mixed with 300 grams of natural flower honey. The mass must be cooked over low heat. Do not let honey and apples boil - a treat will become useless. Ideally, the mixture should languish in a Russian stove, but an ordinary oven will do. When the mass is thickened, it can be tasted or canned. Received golden treats will certainly please your loved ones.
Honey jam with cranberries, apples and nuts is very popular. One kilogram of cranberries need to be sorted out and pour a glass of water. Simmer until the berries are soft. Then the mass must be rubbed through a sieve, mix the syrup with honey, peeled walnuts and apple slices. Simmer for about an hour. All the components of this jam complement each other and the result is an incredibly tasty and rich delicacy.
Lemon will give the traditional taste of apple jam a subtle citrus flavor and a touch of sourness. A kilogram of apples will need a large lemon. We wash the apples, peel the core and peel, cut into slices. Rinse the lemon and grate it, removing all the bones. Pour lemon pulp with a glass of water and simmer for about an hour. Then add a kilogram of sugar to the mass and wait until it is completely dissolved. Then add the apple slices to the syrup. You do not need to cook jam immediately, leave the container for several hours, regularly stirring its contents. This is done so that the apple absorbs the fragrant citrus flavor and aroma. After a few hours, jam can be boiled and rolled up in jars.
Below are tips that reflect all the intricacies of making jam from apples.
These simple tips will help you make apples not just jam, but a real dessert treat, which is not a shame to put before even the most important guests.
