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 apple Bramley or Granny Smith
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ¼ teaspoon anise seed powder optional.
Instructions
- Peel, core and grate the apples.
- 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.
- 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.
