Green Apple Jam

Decoration: Used a red apple to carve a box with a flowery lid :) Sorry exhausted all the green apples for the jam!

I am a perfect Jam Jam Jammy.. love jam a lot that I can eat it just like that, with bread, dosa, Chapathi, Poori and so on.. even with biscuits you know!! So jam always has a special place in my fridge.

Green apples are sometimes sour and you might not like to eat it that way. The best use you can modify it to is green apple jam. For a person with sweet tooth like me, sugar with anything can make it heavenly. :)

Try this Jam and be a Jammy!!!

Ingredients:

Apple pulp - 1 cup(2 large green/red apples)
Sugar - 1 cup
Citric acid - 1/2 tsp
Food color - a pinch
Sodium benzoate - 1/4 tsp (preservative)

Method:

Remove the skin of the apple and slice them into small pieces. Grind them in the mixie to make the pulp. Measure the pulp in the cup and take equal amount of sugar for preparation. Now take the pulp and the sugar in a heavy bottomed pan and add citric acid to it. Keep stirring it in high flame till it becomes thick(Jam consistency). Once done switch off the flame and add the food color and mix it evenly. Take a tsp of water and dilute the sodium benzoate and then add it to the jam mixing it well. Apple jam is ready to eat.. :)

You can store this jam in the refrigerator for around 6 months.

Note: You can use any fruit or even mixed fruit pulp to make this jam in the same way.
