Jam is one of the most popular culinary delights in the world. However, it is often rich in added sugars that can compromise our health if consumed in excess.
With this recipe, I will guide you step by step in the preparation of an irresistible apple, lemon and cinnamon jam, without added sugar. An explosion of taste and health that will delight your palate and do your body good.
Ingredients:
1 kg of apples (preferably sweet varieties such as Fuji or Gala apples)
Juice of 2 lemons
The grated zest of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
1 cup of water
Instructions:
Preparing the apples: Start by peeling, core and cutting the apples into small pieces. Also, be sure to remove the seeds. Apples are the base of our jam and provide a natural sweetness without added sugar.
Cooking the apples: Place the apple pieces in a large saucepan with the water and lemon juice. Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The apples should soften and start to form a compote-like consistency.
Adding the lemon and cinnamon: Once the apples are tender, add the grated lemon zest and ground cinnamon. These ingredients will give the jam a delicious aroma and a touch of freshness. Continue stirring and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes.
