Apple Jam

Course Side Dish
Keyword Apple, Jam
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 13 oz Jar (368g)

Ingredients

  • 2 apples (300g), finely cut into cubes. I used Pink Lady, but use your favorite.
  • 1 cup (225g) demerara sugar (or any other granulated sugar)
  • 2 tbsp (30g) Lemon Juice

Instructions

  1. Place all of your finely cut apples, sugar, and lemon juice into a medium sauce pan and stir it until well combined.

  2. Cook the sugar and apples on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally for 20 to 25 minutes. Eventually, the jam will develop more liquid and take on a syrupy consistency.

  3. Once the apples are almost translucent and a thin syrup develops, the jam is ready. Cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes if needed, but do not overcook or else you will have a thick, goopy, jam that is tough to eat.
  4. If you do happen to overcook the jam, simply turn off the heat and stir in up to 3 tablespoons of water to loosen the jam.
  5. Place the jam in a glass or heat resistant jar and let it cool completely while uncovered.

  6. Chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before using.
