September is the time for harvesting and preparing various dishes from it that will delight you all year round. And one of these dishes is jam. When, for example, big harvest apples, processing them into jam is the best way out. In general, apple jam is a traditional and familiar product for many, but jam is made not only from apples ...

Jam is made from apples, pears, plums, apricots, cornelian cherry and other fruits. It can be cooked from any fruits and berries or from a mixture of various fruits.

First, the fruits are washed, the seeds are removed, where possible, the peel is removed. The fruits are cut and placed in a saucepan, at the bottom of which a little water is poured. Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the fruits are completely softened (10-20 minutes at a boil).

Then the boiled fruits are rubbed through a sieve, a colander with small holes or rubbed with a mixer.

The resulting fruit puree is mixed with sugar. For 1 glass (part) of puree, take 1 glass (part) of sugar. If the fruits are sweet, you can take 1.2 - 1.5 parts of puree 1 part of sugar. In general, the more sugar you take for the same mass of mashed potatoes, the denser the jam turns out.

After the puree is mixed with sugar, the jam is boiled in a bowl with an open lid until the mass becomes thick. Cooking lasts about an hour (maybe an hour with a little). To make the jam more fragrant and light, it must be boiled as quickly as possible. The more sugar, the faster the puree boils down.

But during cooking, you need to constantly stir and make sure that the puree does not burn. It is best to cook jam not on open fire and in a water bath. Then there are more chances that the mass will not burn.

For a bath, take another large pan. Water is poured into it with the addition of salt (calculated as 1 glass of salt per 2 liters of water). A wooden grate is placed at the bottom of the large pan and a smaller pan containing the puree is placed on it (in extreme cases, if there is no grate, a carefully thick cloth can be placed instead).

If you intend to store jam for a long time, hot jam should be put into clean, dry, sterilized glass jars (carefully) and immediately rolled up with sterilized lids. If the jam is intended for immediate consumption, it is also placed hot in glass or clay jars. When it cools down and a film forms on the surface, the jars are covered with parchment paper or polyethylene film and tied or covered with a lid and left in a cool, dry place.

Bon appetit!
