Apple jam (White Transparent)
Description
Homemade preserves keep for a long time. The recipe is very simple and is perfect for serving with desserts (or as a dessert on its own). If you are making jam for later use in baking, simmer it a little longer—about 20 minutes—until it is almost fully thickened. The preserve is ready for winter storage.
