Abracadabra ♪ Apple Jam
Since the apples I bought on sale were lacking tartness, I decided to make them into jam. I gave it a refreshing taste by adding plenty of lemon juice.
The amount of sugar and lemon juice needed may vary according to the sweetness or tartness of your apples (The apples I used were truly lacking in flavor.) Recipe by Pkomama

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel the apples and cut into wedges (for 300 g, I used two medium-sized apples).
- 2
Combine the apples, lemon juice, and sugar in a pan, and boil on medium heat, while stirring with a wooden spatula. Since there is no water added, keep stirring to prevent scorching.
- 3
If you prefer a smooth consistency, reduce to low heat, crush the apples with a wooden spatula, and simmer for 1 hour. If you prefer to keep the shape of the apple bits, remove from heat when the apples reach an even translucency and the liquid becomes syrupy.
- 4
Pour the jam into a sterilized jar, and it's ready to serve.

I tried this recipe with the rich tasting Ruby variety. Since they were very tart, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice was plenty.

"Mirusuke" used 6 Ruby apples. By leaving a bit of skin on the apples then removing it later, the jam turned to a pretty pink. (See photo.)

Here it is with Fuji apples. I left the skin on, but instead of a pink, I got an orange tint. To achieve the pink tone, it seems you need to use Ruby apples or some other deep red variety.

Here it is with Ruby apples. I finally got it to turn pink. I'll work on getting it pinker!
- 9
I finally succeeded in getting my target pink tone. ♪ Ruby apples were expensive, but they were worth it! I gave this jar of jam to my daughter-in-law.

Here, I made it with cinnamon. I always add cinnamon to my yoghurt or toast anyway, so this way, I can kill two birds with one stone. ♪
- 11
Here it is with brown sugar. A bit too dark... but the full-bodied taste is delicious.
- 12
Try it with large slices, reduce the amount of sugar, and serve them as is. ♪

Apple Jam (with Jonathan Apples) Apple Jam (with Jonathan Apples)
Usually apple jam is made by covering the fruit with sugar to draw out the moisture before simmering. I used to use this method, but the color never turned out as nice as I wanted. I thought it was kind of like making caramel from sugar syrup. So I added a creative step.The season for Kougyoku apples is short, and making a large amount of homemade jam is a big job. So I divide the apples into the peel + cores and fruit, add lemon water (1/2 a lemon worth of juice or a little salt added to 1 liter of water) to both, pack into plastic bags and freeze. They keep for at least 10 months (from my experience). For about 1 kg of jam. Recipe by Ojimaya Jinbee

Simple Apple Jam Simple Apple Jam
I bought some Starking apples, but they didn't go over well with my family, so tried making some jam. I think they're delicious either way.I made this with 30% as much sugar as apple. If you want to store it for a long time, I think it's better to use a larger amount of sugar, like about 50%. Recipe by ankobby -

I wanted to use this for a dinner dish, so I made jam without sugar!! It's quite sweet and tart.The salt and the water are used to release the moisture from the apple, so you only need a little bit, but the amount of moisture released will depend on the size and condition of the apple, so add more water if necessary.Mashed Fuji apple jam will be slightly firm.

Fig Jam Fig Jam
My family is separated into those who eat figs plain and those who like them as a jam, but only a few of us like them plain so they go bad fairly quickly. This is why I made them into a jam that can be stored.The amount of sugar will depend on the sweetness of the figs, so adjust as needed. Ripe figs are pretty sweet, so please add more lemon juice. In Step 4, be careful not to let it boil down too much. Recipe by Nu-shi. (Uses 1 pack of 5 small figs.) -

Figs are in season, so I decided to make jam out of them!Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking – you could decrease the amount if you want, but if you plan on keeping the jam for a long time be sure to use an amount of sugar that's over 50% of the weight of the figs.

Suprisingly Easy Apple Jam Suprisingly Easy Apple Jam
I received a lot of apples as a gift.The amount of sugar should be about 30% of the weight of the apples after they're peeled. This time, I used less sugar since the apples were sweet and I wanted to make the jam less sweet. The sweetness differs by apple variety, so taste and adjust. If you are using artificial sweetener, please consume quickly because it tends to go bad quicker! Recipe by nani cafe -

Apple Tea Jam Apple Tea Jam
I was bored with regular apple jam, so I tried to come up with something new and this recipe was born. I imagined tea would be a great match with apples since there is apple tea. I ended up with a jam with a perfect color and smell.Please use any tea and sugar you prefer. I recommend using Earl Grey because of the strong fragrance. I also recommend using Jonathan apples since they don't fall apart when cooked, but I used Fuji this time and it was delicious. Bottle in a small jar, pack it with scones and bread, and it will be a very popular gift! For 1-2 medium jar. Recipe by yaburie.
