Grape Jam in the Oven
Description
Winter preserve made at home. I really love unusual flavor combinations, so when I first tried this jam at my friend’s house, I immediately wanted to make it myself — it had such an interesting taste and a one-of-a-kind aroma. It turned out that the preparation method is not simple either: unlike the traditional way of cooking on the stove, this treat must be made in the oven. In practice, this method turned out to be even easier and more convenient than the usual one, and now I will tell you in detail how to make grape jam in the oven. For this we will need green grapes, preferably seedless, as well as almonds (they can be replaced with apricot kernels) and spices. Putting it all together, we can make a unique grape jam in the oven at home — I am sure you have never tasted anything like it.

Then transfer it to a baking dish, pour grape juice into it, and add the spices. Place the dish in an oven preheated to 150°C and cook the jam for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

About an hour before the jam is ready, place the almonds in a bowl and pour boiling water over them for 5–7 minutes, then peel off the skins and add them to the jam.

Step 5
After three hours, the jam is fully ready, so we remove the anise and cinnamon stick from it, spoon the jam into sterilized jars, seal them with lids, and turn them upside down until completely cooled.
