Transparent Apple Jam
Description
A simple way to make preserves ahead of time. Here is a simple recipe for transparent apple jam. All you need are apples and sugar. Choose apples that are not too tart and not too sweet—something in between. I used Antonovka apples, freshly picked from the tree. Under no circumstances use overripe apples that have been lying on the ground for a long time, or your jam will turn into thick apple purée. Good luck! The preserves are ready for winter storage.
