Apple Jam (with Jonathan Apples)
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
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

- 1
Wash the apples carefully, since the peel will be used too.
- 2
If you use a peeler you can peel the apples easily. For a small amount of apples, a knife is fine.
- 3
Cut the apples (700 g) into 8 pieces (or smaller). Cut the cores into half, and remove the stem and bottom end bits.
- 4
Put the peel and core (totaling about 400g), 1/2 a lemon worth of juice and 800 ml of water in a pan, and simmer over high heat for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally with a wooden spatula.
- 5
When the cores have fallen apart and the spatula feels heavy, strain the contents of the pan through a piece of clean muslin (or cheesecloth) to extract the pectin liquid.
- 6
Add the fruit and 1/2 a lemon worth of juice to the pectin liquid (which should be about 500 g), and simmer over high-medium heat while stirring with a wooden spatula.
- 7
When the mixture has been reduced by about 2/3, add the sugar in 3 batches 5 minutes apart. If you want the jam to have a longer shelf life, increase the amount of sugar to 500 to 600 g.
- 8
When simmering the jam, try not to stir it up too much. Shake the pan instead while trying not to crush the fruit for a preserves-type jam.
- 9
The result is a subtly sweet, pretty apple jam with pink colored jelly surrounding the fruit.
- 10
Since this recipe only uses a small amount of sugar, it's not suited to keep for a long time. After Step 3, take out the cores and peel, and store the jam in the freezer.

Adjust the amount depending on the food you will use it in.The ginger is spicy, so be sure to adjust to taste. Recipe by Ringo Ringo.

Pink Hued Apple Jam using Red Gold Apples
I made a pink jam using Red Gold apples that are bright red straight to the core. When you hear the words "apple jam," you automatically think of Jonathan apples, but it can be made with Red Gold or any other red apple varieties as well. Red Gold have more moisture than Jonathan apples, so they are quicker to make jam. You only need 2 apples to make this, so definitely try it out.Cut the apples as thinly as possible as this makes the moisture come out easier and it'll be quick and easy to make. The amount of granulated sugar should be 50-60% of the amount of fruit. This will increase its self life. If you add lots of lemon, it'll taste refreshing and not cloying from the high sugar content.

Apple Pulp Hibiscus Jam (happy jam)
#CookEveryPartEver wondered what happens when apples and hibiscus get together for a jam session? Well, they decided to take their pulp-tastic party to the next level! You see, these apples were juiced and left their 'pulpy' squad behind, feeling a bit 'jammed' without a purpose. So, they called upon their floral friend, hibiscus, for a fun-tastic fruity fiesta in a jar!I'll take any insults thrown at my jam honestly, because I can almost agree they all point towards'rebel jam' made from leftover pulp! I was not entirely confident about recycling for flavor, considering how squeezed-out apple remnants can get, especially with a heavy-duty juicer involved, but now here we are, a jammin' sensation!As a pointer, you could actually opt out of the lemon juice, as the hibiscus tang took care of the acidity we all appreciate in a good jam. It's not just any jam; it's the result of an 'apple-solutely' wild collaboration! Spread this on your toast, and let the fruity dance party begin in your mouth!Remember, cooking should be fun, and sometimes the most incredible creations come from unexpected combinations! Enjoy your playful apple pulp hibiscus jam adventure and come back for a review as the goody old fella that you are!

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.

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.)

Mulberry Jam
I came up with this recipe after 9 years of experimentation. I wonder if the mulberry tree in the courtyard of my alma mater is still bearing fruit.Since snipping off the stems does not remove the part that is inside the berry, I've discovered this method. Since the berries are separated from the stem, there's no need for a blender or food processor. Recipe by Iguanano egao

Blackberry Jam
There are blackberries that grow in my backyard every year and I wanted to eat them somehow, so I turned them into a jar of jam.Don't blend too much or crush the seeds. The hard, little seeds can leave a taste in your mouth, so strain the berries to remove them as much as possible.I rarely see blackberries being sold in supermarkets here where I live, but you can easily grow your own outside on the balcony. They have sharp thorns, but they will grow into such sweet berries. Recipe by cafe-cafe.

Simple Persimmon Jam
I wanted to make a jam because some persimmons I had received became too soft.If you use persimmons that aren't overripe, slice them thinly and let them sit for an hour after mixing with the sugar to make syrup. You do not need to add the 50 ml of water if you do it this way (you can add the water if not enough syrup formed). I used 25% as much sugar as the persimmons. Please adjust this amount to your taste. Recipe by ankobby
