With apple jam. Jam cooking process

At the summer cottage, in the garden, a good harvest of apples cannot but please both the beginner and the experienced gardener. It's just a pity that these juicy fruits are stored for so long. And you can not eat so many of them fresh. It remains to process them into juice, you can make apple mash or cider, or you can make apple jam - delicious and stored in bins for a long time. It retains for a long time (of course, with the correct preparation method and adherence to the recipe) the maximum amount of vitamins and microelements, so necessary for the human body in cold winter. We will tell you how to cook apple jam in this article.

From the history

More than a hundred years ago, Polish housewives practiced this method of fruit processing. Freeing, for example, plums from seeds, they simmered them over low heat for up to three days, reaching a puree-like state. At the same time, they did not add sugar, however, due to the fact that the brew was poured into clay pots and baked in the oven, it was stored for several years. The origin of the word "jam" is also Polish, dating back to common Slavic roots.

Present day

Nowadays, many housewives (especially those living in private houses) prepare plum and apple jam much faster. It only takes a couple of hours, and the tasty thick product can be placed in jars, canned and stored in a cellar or refrigerator. The cooking recipes are also simplified, but this doesn't make the final product any less delicious!

About the benefits

It is determined by the healing properties of the apple itself as a product from which the jam is made. These fruits stimulate digestion and the formation of gastric juice, and contain useful vitamins and minerals. The only pity is that after heat treatment, no more than thirty percent of them remain. The amount of sugar used for the recipe also inspires concern. After all, this contributes to an increase in blood glucose levels. But not everything looks so sad. Firstly, jam is an exclusively natural product. Secondly, with it you can cook a lot of dishes, delicious pies for example. Still, homemade is better than purchased.

Basic apple jam recipe

How to make apple jam? All ingenious is simple! You only need three ingredients to make apple jam: apples, granulated sugar and water! First, wash the apples thoroughly (you need to take three kilograms in a large saucepan). We remove suspicious areas with a knife - rot, bruises, and also cut out. We cut each fruit into several parts. Pour the apple pieces into a high saucepan or bowl (preferably with low edges and wide, so the water evaporates better). We take the same amount of sugar for three kilograms of fruit - in a one-to-one ratio. Dissolve the sugar in water (you need one liter of clean, fresh) and pour the syrup into a saucepan, to the apples. We boil over the very, very low heat until soft. You need to constantly stir the brew, then it will not burn. If this happens, the taste and color of the jam will be irrevocably spoiled. So we cook for about an hour, stirring constantly, then put the mass in a colander and wipe it.

Add some more sugar. Put it on the fire again and cook until it thickens - about an hour more. When this happens (you can easily check by running a spoon along the bottom of the pan: if the passage is slowly tightening, then the jam is ready), put the hot mass in sterilized half-liter jars, close the lid and put it away for storage, after cooling it down. You can store it in the cellar, or you can store it in the refrigerator or even indoors at room temperature.

How to make apple jam with additives

Don't limit yourself to using apples alone. Using the basic recipe, you can cook apple jam with a variety of additives. Vanillin and cinnamon, ginger, ground cloves - you can add a little of everything. The main thing is not to overdo it. Apples with the addition of plums or pears are also relevant. The only condition that it is advisable not to violate: take sugar and raw materials in a one-to-one ratio.

Knowing how to cook apple jam, you can easily cook this product from other fruits and even berries.

From plums

We wash the plums (one kilogram), take out the seeds. Boil one liter of water in a bowl. Dip the plums in boiling water and boil until softened (five to ten minutes). You can steam blanch the fruit. Then we wipe the plums through a sieve or a colander with small holes so that the skins remain in the sieve. Put the puree in a saucepan, cook for 10-20 minutes, stirring constantly. Then add granulated sugar to the boiling puree in small portions. Boil the mass until thickened over low heat, stirring constantly. We put the finished jam in pre-sterilized jars and roll up. Cool without turning. Jam from soft and juicy plums is ready!

Pies with jam

And finally - a very easy recipe for making pies with apple jam. To show in practice where it can be spent in the winter.

We take the most ordinary pie yeast dough (do it yourself or buy it in the store). Roll out the dough and sculpt balls from it. Or you can mold a long "sausage" and cut it into pieces. We make cakes from them, lay out the prepared jam in the center over a teaspoon. We form pies, well blinding their edges. Put on a baking sheet, pre-greased with oil. For glazing, grease with an egg before baking. We heat the oven to 200 degrees. Bake until tender (until golden brown). Bon Appetit!

One of the tasty and healthy options for preserving fruit for the winter is jam cooking. This delicacy was invented about two hundred years ago, when Polish housewives learned to boil the Hungarian plum until a thick pasty mass was obtained. In those days, jam cooking took three days. Faster and easier methods are available to modern housewives, which you will learn about from this article. The name of the delicacy comes from the Polish word "powidla", which means a product obtained by boiling fruit or berry puree with added sugar.

How to choose and prepare apples for harvesting for the winter

To cook apple jam at home for the winter, you should choose fruits that have a sweet and sour taste and thin skin. It is undesirable to peel off the latter, since it contains a lot of the natural astringent pectin, due to which the delicacy comes out thick. When buying apples, feel them: if they are hard, then their flesh is the same, and soft ones are friable. The latter are best used for making apple jam or jam.

The color of the apples must match the variety written on the price tag. For jam, it is better to select red fruits, as this will provide a beautiful color for conservation. To buy really tasty fruits, it is worth smelling them: if there is no aroma, then the taste will be mild. When purchasing apples from abroad, pay attention to the fact that producers cover them with a wax film, which is removed by washing with soap and warm water. To determine the variety, check out their main characteristics:

Simirenko are green apples that have many small white dots under the skin. The sweet and sour taste of this variety is rich with a light wine aftertaste. The pulp is juicy, firm with a spicy aroma.
Golden Delicious - elongated yellow fruits with little white dots. They have a sweet taste, mild aroma, juicy and friable pulp, high calorie content.
Red Delicious - elongated large fruits of dark red color with friable pulp, sweet taste, light spicy aroma. They can have a slight bitterness, which is characteristic of all varieties of this color.
Gloucester is an elongated green variety with a red blush, firm and crunchy pulp, wine flavor, sweet and sour taste.
Royal Gala is a roundish yellow variety with a bright red blush, firm pulp, rich sweet taste with a slight acidity and fruity aroma.
Braburn is a large variety of yellow or light green color with a red blush, juicy firm pulp, rich original taste with a herbal aftertaste.
Idared - apples, yellow with a red blush, with thin skin, juicy friable pulp, kilo-sweet, pronounced taste.
Jonagold is a large yellow variety with a red blush, loose flesh, sweet taste with a slight sourness.
Fuji is a large variety of pale yellow color with a scarlet blush, sweet freshish taste, weak aroma, crunchy, firm pulp.
Jonagored - have a pronounced red blush, friable pulp.
Honey - sweet and sour hard and juicy fruits of yellow-red color.
Antonovka is a green variety with sourness.
White filling is a greenish-yellow variety with thin skin, loose juicy pulp, sweet and sour taste.

Preparation of fruits is as follows: apples must be washed, dried, cut into small pieces. After that, the fruits are boiled until soft. Further, the resulting apple mass turns into mashed potatoes, for which each housewife can use those devices that are more convenient for her to use. Some add gelatin to the jam so that it is not liquid. It is worth remembering that when processed in a blender, the mass becomes smooth, and when twisted in a meat grinder, the consistency turns out to be coarser.

Apple jam for the winter, a simple recipe with a photo

1. The quality and consistency of the finished jam directly depends on the quality of the fruit, so you need to start preparing it by reviewing the apples and sorting them carefully.

Selected fruits should be thoroughly rinsed and be sure to dry by placing them on a towel or paper napkins. If there are hit apples, they can also be sent for conservation, but before that, it is natural to peel and remove the broken part.

2. Then the apples should be peeled. It is best to use a small knife with a thin blade or a potato peeler for this. It is such a knife that is shown in the photo.

3. Peeled fruits are cut in half, pitted, and then cut into slices of any size, but remember, the smaller the pieces are, the faster they will boil.

4. Sugar is added to the sliced apples. You need to mix thoroughly and leave them for half an hour. During this time, the apples will start juice, and the sugar will partially dissolve.

5. It remains only to add water, mix again and put the future apple jam on low heat to cook for the winter. The cooking time depends on how fast the apples are boiled. After boiling, it will take about 40 minutes. Then you need to check the condition of the slices and if they have turned into a homogeneous mass, then boil for another 20 minutes.

6. If the apple pieces are still dense, they must be thoroughly kneaded using a crush, and then the resulting puree must be boiled for at least 20 minutes.

Advice: the main problem with cooking jam is the possibility of burning. To avoid this, you need to choose a wide container with a thick bottom, cook over very low heat and stir constantly with a wooden spatula.

7. To make sure that apple jam is ready for the winter, you need to drop it on a clean, dry saucer. The drop should resemble jelly or thick marmalade and not spread. In our case, the jam should not be completely uniform, since a blender was not used in the recipe. You should not boil the jam too much, because then it will be thick enough and you can cut it with a knife.

Note: in our case, the apple jam was cooked for about 1 hour for seaming for the winter, and it became very thick. If you can see it in the final photo, then the dessert does not spread and it really can be cut. But it directly depends on the dishes in which you cook and on the power of the fire.

8. Transfer the finished jam into clean dry jars.

9. Then you must immediately roll up.

It is not necessary to turn it upside down, but it will not hurt to wrap it in warm until it cools completely.

Such an ideal apple jam for the winter is not capricious and can be stored for several years. It is better to keep rolled up jars in a cellar or closet. Be sure to try making such a treat. You won't regret it on cold winter evenings.

The benefits of fresh fruits and berries for the human body are obvious, because a person receives many vitamins and nutrients from the gifts of nature. Therefore, in summer and autumn, we try to stock up on canned delicacies - preserves, jams, marmalades, jellies and compotes. And just strawberries, cherries or blueberries frozen in the refrigerator will be an excellent addition to winter desserts. Today we will learn how to cook apple jam for the winter at home by studying simple step-by-step recipes with photos and videos - with cinnamon, pear, lemon, orange, without sugar and with it. What is jam? The name of the delicacy in translation from Polish means "a product obtained by boiling fruit or berry puree with sugar." Indeed, the “technology of production” of apple jam has remained unchanged - having rolled ripe fruits through a meat grinder into a homogeneous puree (as an option, simply cut into pieces), you need to cook it in “pure” form or with the addition of other fruits and spices. A multicooker is ideal for making thick homemade apple jam - just set the desired program and set the time. We hope that with the help of our recipes, each housewife will be able to quickly make apple jam, delighting loved ones with an exquisite delicious dessert for tea.

For many, the preparation process is associated with heat, endless pots of boiling water and fiddling with hot cans. However, thanks to "smart" kitchen technology, you can minimize the labor and time spent on preparing your favorite preserves. So, using a multicooker, you can easily cook a delicious apple jam for the winter - the dessert recipe is simple and just suitable for busy housewives.

The list of ingredients for the apple jam recipe - for the multicooker:

peeled apples - 1 kg
sugar (depending on the variety of apples) - 200 - 700 gr.

Step-by-step instructions for cooking a delicious jam with apples in a slow cooker:

For jam, not only whole fruits are suitable, but also with minor "errors" - crumpled, with cracked skin, overripe. We wash the apples, remove the peel, cut out the spoiled areas and the core with seeds. Cut into pieces of medium size.
Fill the fruits with sugar in a large bowl or saucepan and, covering with a towel, leave for 2 - 4 hours for juicing.
Place the candied apples in the multicooker bowl and set the "Stew" mode. How much should you cook? First, turn on for 30 minutes.
When the signal sounds, mix the apples and continue cooking - for another 30 minutes. We taste and add sugar if necessary.
The total duration of boiling jam is 1.5 - 2.5 hours - depending on the variety of apples, their juiciness, as well as the desired thickness of the finished product. After testing for sugar, turn on the slow cooker again and cook, remembering to stir the sweet apple mass every half hour.
When the apple jam reaches the required density, pour it into sterilized jars and roll it up with clean tin lids boiled in boiling water. We put the cooled jars with jam for storage in the basement, closet or other secluded place. Enjoy your tea in winter!

We start with the preparation of the fruits - wash, dry and remove all the "excess" (skin, stalk, inner part with seeds). Cut each apple into medium pieces.
Pour the peeled apples into a saucepan with a thick bottom, pour in water and set to simmer. From the moment of boiling, boil the apples for 30 - 40 minutes - until they are completely softened.
Transfer the softened fruit to a blender bowl and puree finely. Alternatively, you can rub the mass through a sieve or boil it hard in a saucepan.
Pour the applesauce again into the pan and add condensed milk there. If you decide to cook jam with sugar, add it a few minutes before pouring in the condensed milk, and dissolve it thoroughly.
Bring the sweet mixture to a simmer over high heat, then screw and cook for 7 minutes.
We sterilize the jars in any convenient way and fill them with hot jam with apples and condensed milk. After seaming with lids, turn over and leave to cool for about a day. Everything, ready-made jam, can be sent to the pantry shelf, and in winter you can enjoy the original taste of the dessert - on sweet sandwiches, with pancakes and just a bite of tea.

We continue to cook the jam for 45 minutes - under the lid, over low heat. Stir occasionally so as not to burn.
Then the apple mass must be grated through a sieve with a wooden spoon. The result is a delicate puree with a uniform consistency and no skin.
Pour the puree into a saucepan and add sugar, spices, orange zest and juice, and salt. We mix all the components and put the container with applesauce on the shelf of the refrigerator - preferably from evening to morning.
In the morning, cook the jam over low heat for 6 hours - stir the first 4 hours at intervals of 30 minutes, and for the last couple of hours we reduce the break to 15 minutes.
We check the readiness of the apple-orange jam as follows - put an empty saucer in the freezer to cool, and then put a spoonful of the sweet mass and run your finger over it. There is a trace on the surface, but the jam has not spread? This means that the delicacy is ready and can be rolled into sterilized jars.
Jars of jam also need to be sterilized, and after cooling, they should be taken to a dark, cool place. The finished jam turns out to be rich, with an amber color and a delicate aroma of spices and citrus. Simply delicious!
