Whole Ranetka Jam
Description
A preservation recipe without unnecessary complications. It's the perfect time to share with you a classic recipe for jam made from whole ranetka apples. It's important to note that it's cooked from apples with the stem still attached, which is not trimmed off completely. The finished jam should be stored in a cool place, for example in a pantry, cellar, or refrigerator. In winter, open a jar of ranetka jam, brew some hot tea — and enjoy. Jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.
