Easy-to-Make Apple Jam recipe!!

Less work in the kitchen and better flavor…..how cool does that sound!!!! Call it an Apple Jam , Butter(Apple butter is an old 18th C. term for a thick brown apple jam) or Preserve? I call it simply a JAM. What’s in a name anyways? My point is ..never thought making Jam would be so easy till my friend mentioned about it and made it.

To me this is the best Jam……….All you need to do is a Proper Storage and you can enjoy having it anytime . Breakfast ,brunch, lunch or dinner, a Jam addict surely is a winner.

Its smooth on the toast, cool on the tongue and jammy in the stomach .It's tasty, it's eye catching, easy to spread, once you start you can't stop. I can go on and on and on........There's nothing better for cheering up the bread-bored! Fruity kids love it most . You can also try making this jam with pineapple, peach, raspberry, plum, grape, strawberry, cranberry, orange OR any other fruit!

So here's the recipe for you

You will Need:

4apples
8-10 big spoonful sugar
2 cups Water
2 teaspoons lemon juice
cardamom powder - a pinch
Any Fruit essence/color-few drops(optional)

Directions:

Peel, core and cut the apples into slices.

Put the slices in a Pan and pour water.

Cover the pan with a lid and cook on a slow sim until slices become tender.It might take around 10-15 mins.

Add sugar and cardamom powder slowly and stir. continue cooking for another 5 mins.

Now add lemon juice. Also, we can add any fruit essence/color at this stage.Continue stirring until jam sets.

It looks like a crystal mass at this stage with a sweet aroma.

Allow the jam to cool at room temperature.

Pour the jam into a sterilised jar or into any air tight container and cork tightly.

Keep it in refrigerator after approx 30 mins

Let it sit for one day......and its all ready for the next day.

Note: Those who look for a finely smooth paste, you can grind the apple slices n sugar, once they are cooked tender.....and then put the paste in a pan on a low sim , add lemon juice, and stir for 5 mins. cool it and pour in a jar.

It's an out of this world JAM to slam dunk on your bread.
