Ingredients
- 1.5 kilograms apples
- 750 grams granulated sugar
- 30 milliliters lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 250 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Peel and core the apples, then chop them into small pieces.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, and lemon juice.
Step 3
Cook over medium heat until the apples are soft and start to break down, about 15 minutes.

Add the granulated sugar, lemon zest, and ground cinnamon to the saucepan.

Stir well to combine, and continue cooking over medium heat.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 20-25 minutes.
Step 7
Use a spoon to test the jam by placing a small amount on a chilled plate. If it gels and holds its shape, it is ready.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool slightly.
Step 9
Transfer the apple jam into sterilized jars, leaving a little headspace at the top.
Step 10
Seal the jars with lids and allow them to cool completely.

Store in the refrigerator for up to three weeks or process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to store at room temperature for up to one year.
