Apple jam

Apple jam is surprisingly easy to make and is so flavourful. With a tarty taste that mixed with cinnamon and anise seed flavour, the jam gives a delight to your morning toast. And it also makes such a lovely gift too.

Ingredients

  • 2.2 pounds Bramley apples or Granny Smith apples.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar.
  • 1 teaspoon salt.
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder.
  • ¼ teaspoon anise seed powder optional.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel, core and grate the apples.
  2. In a cooking pot, put the grated apples, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and anise seed powder (if using). Give it a stir and cook it at medium-high heat with a lid on. Take care and keep checking every now and again. You may have to give it a mix every so often, to prevent the apples from getting burned at the bottom of the pan.
  3. You may want to turn the heat to low once the liquid evaporates and the apple pulp becomes thick. Continue cooking and stirring until you get a dark caramelized apple jam. 

Notes

  • You can use either cooking apples like Bramley or eating apples such as granny smith.
  • The longer you cook, the more liquid evaporates. Hence, the thicker your jam will be.
