Homemade Apple Jam

Tried to make a home made jam and it turned out to be yummy. Very simple recipe and less ingredients. You can also make it in microwave too.

Enjoy a healthy home made apple jam without any preservatives.


Ingredients:

Finely chopped apple - 1 cup
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Lemon juice - 2 tbsp

One cup of chopped apples make 3/4th cup of apple jam.


Method:

Using gas stove:

Mix the apple pieces and sugar and place it on the stove. Cook on low flame till the apples turn soft and transparent.

Blend this into smooth paste in a blender.

Again cook the paste on the stove on low flame for 4 to 5 mins or till it thickens slightly.

Remove from flame and add lemon juice. Cool it and store in jam jar.


On Microwave:

Place the apple and sugar mix into a microwave safe bowl and microwave it (covered) for 3 to 4 mins on full power.

Blend the mix in a blender. Again microwave the paste for 6 to 8 minutes on 60% power. Keep stirring in between.

Mix in the lemon juice and store in jar.


Enjoy a tasty lemon flavoured apple jam made at home... :)
