Preparation of products

To ensure successful jam-making, it's important to pay attention to the first step—preparing the ingredients. Apple ripeness is crucial. It's best to choose uniformly ripe apples, rather than green ones. It's also important to remove the seeds, cores, and stems. Any areas affected by disease or defects should also be trimmed off.

Step-by-step recipes

In winter, jam is a wonderful addition to any tea party. What's a cozy home without jam? It can also help ward off colds and other winter ailments. And its calorie content is under 300 kcal. Below are simple and unique apple jam recipes that any home cook can make.

Apples in slices

A simple, quick, and tried-and-true recipe for amber jam is a great dessert option for those with a sweet tooth of any age. This most delicious dessert has a beautiful color and an indescribable flavor and aroma. To enjoy this delicacy you only need sugar and a kilo of apples. So how do you make amber apple jam with slices? It's very simple!

Place the apples in a single layer in a large bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Repeat the process again. Cover the bowl and let it sit until the apples release their juices.

This takes about 12-20 hours. This is crucial. The top sugar layer must quickly dissolve without leaving any residue. Transfer the apples to a deep saucepan, along with the syrup and sugar. Bring the apple jam to a boil gradually. Cook for no more than five minutes and turn off the heat. After this, cook it again for another 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool.

The third boil is the final one. After the treat comes to a boil, simmer it for another 5 to 30 minutes. The exact time depends on the desired color of the dessert. It can be clear or rich. Several stages are necessary to ensure the fruit is thoroughly cooked but retains its shape.

After a series of boiling cycles, the jam will be ready. Pack it tightly into the jars, being careful not to damage the slices. Then, cover the jars with lids and turn them upside down. Covering the jars while still warm is not recommended, as this will damage the slices and cause them to lose their attractive shape.

In a multicooker

A multicooker is a versatile household appliance that's perfect for preparing soups and making delicious pear and apple jam. An oven would also work, but a multicooker is better.

How many ingredients are needed to make jam in a slow cooker?

• peeled apples – 2 kg;
• sugar – 500 grams.

The first step is to slice the peeled apples and place them in the multicooker bowl. You can use any variety of apples, such as Antonovka or White Naliv. Place them in the first layer, then sprinkle sugar on top to prevent it from burning and causing an unpleasant odor. Then follow these steps:

1. Sprinkle with sugar and, if the apples are very sour, you can double the amount of sugar.
2. Set the multicooker to the “baking” mode for 40 minutes.
3. After the jam boils, it should be stirred.
4. After this, boil the prepared metal lids and sterilize them. Wipe them dry with a cloth.
5. Roll up.

With apricots

To make delicious jam from apples and apricots, remove the pits. Fresh apricots aren't necessary; you can freeze them in advance. Fresh ones are still better, though.

Next, cut all the ingredients into slices. Combine the apples and apricots and place them in a saucepan over low heat. Once the jam boils, remove it from the heat and let it cool. Repeat this process four times three days in a row, then roll it up. This jam can be spread on bread, preferably homemade, baked in a bread machine.

With oranges

Apple and orange jam will captivate anyone with its multifaceted, vibrant flavor and aroma. You'll need one kilogram of apples and one kilogram of orange. To prepare this delicacy:

1. Wash the apples, remove the peel and core.
2. Grind in a meat grinder.
3. Peel the oranges and remove the membranes.
4. Cut the clean slices and combine with the apples.
5. Add water to the mixture and simmer over heat.
6. After the jam boils, it should be removed from the heat and distributed into jars.

That's it. The apple-orange jam is ready to be canned.

With pears

To make apple and pear jam, you'll need one kilogram of each fruit. You can also add one cup of honey. Wash the pears and apples, remove the seeds, and dice them. Combine everything in a bowl and cover with hot water.

First, honey is dissolved in water, but this is not necessary; it can be replaced with sugar.

Place over low heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and let cool. Repeat four times over three days until the dessert thickens. Place the finished treat into sterilized jars and seal.

With tangerines

Delicious and healthy "Five-Minute" apple and tangerine jam is a healthy alternative to store-bought sweets. To make this treat, you'll need:

• 1 kg peeled apples;
• 1 kg of sugar;
• 1 kg tangerines.

Grind the tangerines, peeling them and removing the seeds first. Dice the apples. Place the fruit in a bowl, add sugar, and stir. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, and immediately transfer to jars.

With walnuts

We present a unique, unusual step-by-step recipe for apple and walnut jam. Here's what you'll need:

• 1 kilogram of apples;
