So, we begin. Wash the apples,cut into 8 pieces (remove only serdtsevinka). Put it in a pan + water + lemon juice and a pinch of rosemary. I used dried rosemary, so I left him with pinches. But the recipe says you need a sprig of rosemary (but what size I don't know). If you use fresh, then quit now only half of the branches. Bring to boil, cover and cook on medium heat until soft apples. I have apples become very soft (this seems to depends on the variety). In a colander to put cheesecloth into four layers and pour in apples. So leave overnight over a bowl to uzivatele (or full day). I started to cook in the evening so I went out for the night.

Further (I, in the morning) take and measure out the juice (and the fact that in the colander, recipe not necessary), which was run off in a bowl over night. At me it turned out 1.5 liters. Now take the sugar from the calculation of 400g. sugar for every 500ml juice. It is not difficult to calculate that on my 1.5 l have 1.2 kg of sugar. But ...... I crushed toad throw apples from the colander. So I triturated through a sieve and added to the juice (seen in the photo - the first photo - just the juice, and the second is mashed potatoes). But here again there is a big "but" ..... we all know how to count..... and what happens ..... if I added mashed, then the liquid volume increased. Right? Right. And from this it follows (again, it is necessary to remeasure the juice) and sugar even more. But .... I didn't do it. Said, sugar, I will always have time to add in the cooking process (if it is small). But if it turns out a lot!!!!! Then what to do? At this point I stopped. Continue to pour the juice in a pan + sugar + saffron(saffron I have not ground, and the weight I measured on the electronic scales) and cook 30 minutes, stirring constantly. At the end add a pinch of rosemary (or remaining half of the sprigs) and boil for another 5 minutes.

Ready jam pour into sterilized jars, allow to cool and ...... and you're done. I put storage in the pantry. Out of this number ingredients I got three jars (see photo - one 900ml, two on the 750 and a little more left).
