Thick jam for the winter is the easiest and fastest way to cook apples. Apples are rich in pectins, and these are substances that, when the temperature rises and the action of organic acids, swell, turning into a gel-like mass - therefore apple jam from crushed apples can be cooked in 20 minutes.
In principle, such a dessert is more correctly called jam, because in jam fruits or berries remain intact, boiling in thick syrup, but in everyday life these terms are often mixed.
If you want to completely get rid of the taste of raw apples, you need to cook the jam longer to a rich amber color, while reducing the heat to a minimum and often stirring the mass.
Ingredients:
- kilogram of apples;
- sugar - 1 kg;
- a glass of water.
