Description
Apples are one of the best fruits for jam. They have a lot of pectin, and this polysaccharide is produced of natural substance. But in order to distinguish it from the apples and to marmalade, Apple jam cooked. And, oddly enough, the correct method of preparation of Apple jam is the most simplest. And the taste of this jam is the best. So, it's simple. You will need: apples, sugar, enameled bowl, gas oven and 10-15 minutes of slow work. Nothing more. No water and hemorrhoids. Apples can any of our Northern varieties: sour, sweet, small, large, any color. Grades can be anything you like. If more red apples, then the jam will be darker; if it is more yellow-green apples — lighter. I tried to cook varietal jams, but a special sense did not see: any of the class nor the boil, is obtained at the output is something very similar in taste.

Cooking
A bowl of this. Not necessarily this specifically, but the point is that at the bowl was a large area of evaporation. That is, it should be not very deep and with a large area.
Now in a bowl, 900 grams of apples. Of them, less serdtsevidok, you get about 750 g of Apple "meat".
The skin is not removed. Apples cut with a knife into random slices with a thickness of approximately five millimeters. Literally this size, of course, is not respected. Importantly, it should rather be a plate than cubes. If too lazy to slice them rolled into neat slices, it will be worse. A smaller contact area and the thicker pieces will cause a bad fusion, and jam, get either a little raw or caramelized apples cook too.
The apples on top sprinkle them with sugar. Calculate about 1/2 the mass of apples to 1/3. No more, no less. How exactly? — well, taste. If the apples are sour or there palubicki what, then pour half of the sand from the weight of apples. If the apples are sweet, pour a third. In my case was a little sour Antonovka, medium-sweet Glory for the Winner and sweet little Jonathan. So I'm on 750 g of apples filled approximately 250 grams of sand — 1/3. Important point — sand with apples NOT MIX! and NO WATER!!! So let it be dry on top and a bunch of lies. Ablecommerce ready!!! In this form, put it in the oven at a temperature of about 250 degrees.
After 25-30 minutes take out the bowl from the oven and see whether the apples juice. Well, you can have the first inspection is to give and 20 minutes. When the juice will cover the bottom, all blackmass mix so that the dry sugar was, and put it in the oven again. But now just remove the heat until about 220 degrees.
Now to the apples fit in somewhere every ten minutes to look at them and once again mix well. After another peremerki you can try a spoon if sugar is not enough, add a little.
How long to cook? — and this, unfortunately, will have to define "by eye". It is important not to overcook — at some point, the sugar begins to caramelize, and the jam will be thick, overcooked and therefore not very tasty. It is best when the juice is all evaporated, and ablecommerce all covered in a beautiful foam. In this state it will look like foam jelly, but at the same time will be enough liquid with stirring. But really you need experience will come with the second bowl of jam. So, even if for the first time, a little mistake, this time is likely to be and the last failed. Remember that jam when cooled will thicken, so hot it should be fairly fluid. To spill into the banks it is not necessary to cool — once hot and expanded. Sterilize jars not needed — just clean. Apple jam is almost never sick and is not moldy.
Refrigerated jam will be a thick marmalade, fresh taste almost seethe with barely-viewed slices and clear slices of skins. It should not leak — it's such a dense enough mass. Perfect uvarka — 1/4 of the original weight of ablecommerce. That is, a kilogram of mass should be 750 grams of jam. No higher education for prigotovte not necessary. Happens to everyone, without any experience. For all time, along with cutting, cooking, and layout in banks is 20 minutes of work. Although, of course, apples are cooked in the oven for about 1 hour.
