Quick and Easy Apple Jam
A very quick to prepare, and very gourmet jam with a good taste of apples, with a touch of vanilla and cinnamon. Perfect on crepes, pancakes...
Ingredients
- 800 g apples for cooking ex: Boskoop, Jonagold, Chantecler
- 400 g granulated sugar
- Half an organic lemon
- 1 cc vanilla extract
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 210 g water
Prepare in advance
- Wash the apples, peel them, core them and cut them into large dice.
- Place the diced apples in a salad bowl. Sprinkle them with lemon juice and add the lemon zest as well.
- In a large saucepan, heat the water and powdered sugar for 5 minutes over medium heat.
- Add the diced apples then continue cooking for about 20/25 minutes, stirring regularly. Skim the surface from time to time with a slotted spoon. 5 minutes before the end of cooking, add the cinnamon stick and the vanilla extract.
- NB: To know if the jam is set: pour a drop of preparation on a plate taken out of the freezer. If the drop runs slightly then freezes, it's done enough! Otherwise continue cooking a bit.
- Pour the mixture into a sterilized jam jar(s). Close the jar(s) and invert for 5 minutes. Turn over until the jam has completely cooled.
Notes
This jam once opened can be kept in the refrigerator, about 10-15 days.
