Apple Jam

Directions

1. 1
   Peel the apple and cut into about 1 cm slices or cubes.
2. 2
   Depending on the brand of apple, the season, and if you want a smoother jam, chopping the fruit into smaller pieces will make it easier to cook and mash.
3. 3
   Also, soaking the cut apple in saltwater for 5-10 minutes will help soften it.
4. 4
   Place the apple, salt, and water into a pot.
5. 5
   Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat.
6. 6
   Once the apples become transparent, lightly stir it as it simmers to prevent burning.
7. 7
   If you want a smooth jam, mash the apples as you stir.
8. 8
   Once the liquid has evaporated, it's done.

    If you make a chunky jam and top with cinnamon sugar, it turns into a dessert.

    They're higher in acidity, but the jam came out delicious.
