Apple Jam with Whole Slices
Description
A simple way to make a batch ahead. This is a classic recipe for apple jam made with whole slices. Choose only firm, juicy, and sweet apples. Slice the apples thinly, because you do not boil the jam—you bring it to a boil and let it steep, repeating this sequence three times. Stir the jam very gently; the slices must not be damaged. Good luck. Serve at the table or store in the pantry.
