How to cook jam from ranetki
Essential Ingredients:
- granulated sugar - 1.3 kg;
- ranetki ripe yellow - 1.1 kg;

Features of the choice of apples
Ranetka jam turns out to be tasty if only ripe and sweet yellow fruits are used for such a dessert. It is advisable to purchase such a product not in a store, but to collect it in your own garden. After all, personally grown fruits are much tastier and healthier. When choosing the main ingredient, you should especially pay attention to its rigidity. Indeed, from more friable and softer products you will get not very tasty jam. Therefore, for this dessert, it is better to take elastic and whole apples. By the way, such fruits, due to their great sweetness, are very often wormy. If you decide to make jam in slices, then the wormhole can be cut with a knife. Otherwise, damaged apples should not be taken.
Product processing
In this recipe, we decided to tell you about how to make a dessert from chopped apples. Indeed, for the preparation of whole fruits will take much more time. Collected or purchased apples must be washed well, and then cut into several slices, while removing the entire seed box. Peeling fruits from the peel is not worth it, as it will give the jam a special taste and richness.
Preparation of the product for heat treatment
After all the fruits are sliced, it is recommended to rinse them again in cold water (using a colander). Then you need to move everything into an enameled basin, cover with sugar and mix well with a large spoon. In this position, the ingredients should be left for several hours, so that the fruits give their juice, and the sweet product partially melted.
Heat treatment
Ranetka jam should be prepared in three stages. First, add a little water to sugar fruit. Then you should put the enameled basin on a gas stove on a small fire. Dessert should be boiled and cooked for 6 minutes. Next, the fire must be extinguished, cover the dishes with newspaper and leave at room temperature for 5-7 hours. During this time, the future dessert should cool, and the fruit partially absorb the syrup. This procedure is desirable to repeat 2 more times. After the last boil, you should form a dark jam with completely soaked and cooked components.
The final stage in the preparation
To preserve the jam from the ranetka during the long winter, sterilize several jars and lids, and then distribute the whole hot dessert over them. Now you need to roll up the lids, cover the jars with a thick towel and turn upside down. For the sweetness to cool, it is advisable to leave it in this position for exactly one day. After 24 hours, the finished jam should be removed to the refrigerator, underground or cellar.
