Apple jam is a very appetizing, tasty and healthy delicacy. You can prepare this wonderful dessert from both cultivated varieties of apple trees and wild ones. Wild apples differ from garden apples, perhaps, only in their small size, while in taste and beneficial properties these fruits are almost identical.

How to make apple jam from wild game?

First of all, we need to prepare the ingredients needed for our jam:

• wild apples - 1 kg;
• granulated sugar - 1 kg;
• purified water - 250 ml.

Preparation:

The wild fruit should be cleared of the stalks, washed under cool water, the fruits should be placed in a colander and given time so that excess liquid can drain from them. Next, you have two options to choose from - you can make jam from whole fruits (for example, if you use wild ranetki) or from apple slices.

If you choose the first option, then you should not peel the apples, since during the cooking process they will become very soft, and not a trace will remain of their former hardness. If you prefer the second option, then wild apples should be cut in half, cored and cut into slices.

Place the prepared fruits (whole or slices) into an enamel bowl, pour in purified water and cover with granulated sugar. Apples should be simmered over low heat. As soon as the fruits release juice and there is a significant amount of sweet syrup in the container, you can time the 30-40 minutes during which the cooking of our delicacy should continue. All this time, the jam should be continuously stirred and the resulting foam should be removed.

Wild apples are much tougher than garden apples, and therefore the time for preparing jam from them increases significantly. If unripe fruits were picked, it is recommended to extend the cooking time to 1 hour.

Prepare glass jars for jam. To do this, they need to be carefully washed with baking soda, pasteurized, and then dried thoroughly. Pour hot apple jam into jars and seal them with metal lids using a sealing wrench. Store containers that have cooled at room temperature in a cool place.

Apples, especially if they are whole in such jam, are unusually sweet, well soaked in sugar syrup. Having bitten them, you will feel a piquant sourness, giving this dessert a pleasant, incomparable forest aroma.

Everything is extremely simple - you just need to select good apples (without damage, wormholes or rot), wash them thoroughly, dry them and prick them in several places with a toothpick or skewer. Then the chopped fruit is dipped in boiling water for 2-3 seconds and immediately transferred to a bowl filled with cold water.

To ensure that the delicacy is transparent, the jam from paradise apples with tails should be cooked only over low heat. Since intense boiling helps to change the characteristic amber shade into a darker one. And besides, the taste of the jam is lost due to intense boiling and becomes caramel-sticky (like burnt sugar).
