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.

Ingredients

1 serving
  1. 1Apple
  2. 1 pinchSalt
  3. 1/2 tbspplus Water

Cooking Instructions

  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. Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat.

  5. 5

    Once the apples become transparent, lightly stir it as it simmers to prevent burning. If you want a smooth jam, mash the apples as you stir.

  6. 6

    Once the liquid has evaporated, it's done. I used Jonathan Gold apples this time.

  7. 7

    This is the version using Orin apples I mostly use either Orin or Jonathan Gol apples.

  8. 8

    If you make a chunky jam and top with cinnamon sugar, it turns into a dessert. This was made with Jonathan apples! They're higher in acidity, but the jam came out delicious.
