How to make jam from ranetki (paradise apples) at home: a simple recipe for preparing it for the winter
Ranetki jam differs from ordinary apple jam primarily in its taste. Ranetki are more sour and tart, but this is what makes heavenly apple jam so special.
Jam can be prepared in two ways. But this applies more to the preparatory stage. After all, the wounds are very small and it is very difficult to clean them. You can still suffer if there are not enough apples. But if you have a bucket of ranetki, then you will have to spend the night in the kitchen.
So, the apples need to be washed, peeled and cored with seeds. That is if you have enough time.
If not, you can simply place whole apples in a saucepan and add water so that the apples are lightly covered with water.
Bring the water to a boil, turn down the gas and cover the pan with a lid. Apples should be cooked for 15-20 minutes over very low heat.
If the apples are peeled, then all you have to do is chop them with a blender. If not, you will have to grind them through a sieve. This way you will get rid of both the seeds and the peel.
Add sugar to the resulting puree and stir.
If the puree is too thick, you should add a little water to it, otherwise the jam will be too thick. Cook the apple jam until it thickens and the original volume is reduced by about 1/3.
Prepare the jars. Wash them and sterilize them. Place the hot jam into jars and cover with lids.Apple jam can be stored for more than a year at room temperature.
But, as practice shows, there is always little of it and they eat it before the expiration date expires.
