Jam is one of the most popular culinary delights in the world. However, it is often rich in added sugars that can compromise our health if consumed in excess.
Ingredients:
1 kg of apples (preferably sweet varieties such as Fuji or Gala apples)
Juice of 2 lemons
The grated zest of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
1 cup of water
Instructions:
Preparing the apples: Start by peeling, core and cutting the apples into small pieces. Also, be sure to remove the seeds. Apples are the base of our jam and provide a natural sweetness without added sugar.
Cooking the apples: Place the apple pieces in a large saucepan with the water and lemon juice. Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The apples should soften and start to form a compote-like consistency.
Adding the lemon and cinnamon: Once the apples are tender, add the grated lemon zest and ground cinnamon. These ingredients will give the jam a delicious aroma and a touch of freshness. Continue stirring and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes.
