Ingredients

- Sugar - 700 g

Step-by-step cooking recipe
Wash the apples, remove the cores and cut into neat identical slices.
Combine water and sugar in a saucepan, add lemon juice and, stirring, heat the syrup over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Place the sliced apples in the syrup, mix gently, bring to a boil and remove from heat. Let the apples soak in the sweet syrup for a few hours. Repeat the procedure 2-3 times.
Put the jam on the fire for the last time and boil it with minimal heat until a beautiful amber color, 30-40 minutes.
Pour the boiling jam into pre-sterilized sterile jars and seal tightly. Store amber apple jam at room temperature.
