Apple blanks are the most popular all over the world. The fact is that on the basis of these fruits a huge number of different goodies are prepared. At the same time, Antonovka’s usual apple jam is prepared in a special way, so that as a result you get an amazing consistency of a dish that will have an amber color and great taste. Such a product is used in its own form, since it can safely be considered a real culinary masterpiece.
Cooking method
One of the important points in the process of preparing such a dish is the time and method of heat treatment. Here you can use pots with a thick bottom, cauldrons or other containers with tight-fitting lids, but best of all, antonovka jam is made from amber in an ordinary bread machine. It is there that you can not only set the required temperature and time regime, but also produce permanent placement of components to achieve better results.
Ingredients
For the dish you will need:
- apples (Antonovka) - 2 kg;
- sugar;
- cinnamon;
- lemon.
Product Preparation
First you need to thoroughly wash the apples and cut them into small pieces. It should be remembered that amber jam from Antonovka should not contain petioles or seeds, which means that they must be removed during cutting. Then you need to determine the required amount of sugar. To do this, put sliced apples in a measuring cup , which we then transfer to the capacity of the breadmaker. On four such glasses, you need to put one sugar.

After the apples and sugar are stacked, a little cinnamon is added to the container, which will make such an Antonovka jam very juicy. The recipe also suggests the presence of lemon juice, but if the apples are not quite ripe, then you can not add it.
Some cooks also prefer to put starch in jam. However, then it is necessary to rub the apples on a grater, which in combination will give not amber jam, but a muddy, but very tasty jam.
Cooking
After all the components are loaded into the breadmaker, it is necessary to select the mode in which the amber jam from Antonovka will be prepared. Usually this is a "jam" program, which is designed for a certain time at an average temperature and constant stirring. However, it should be noted that this is not always enough to achieve the desired result. Therefore, the entire cycle should be repeated twice. It is after the second time that the jam from Antonovka amber will receive its stunning color, and the fruits will become soft and even transparent.
If you use a conventional pan, it is best to let the sugar let the juice out of the apples first. To do this, just fall asleep them (in the same proportion) and leave for 12 hours. Then we cover everything and cook until the fruits become transparent. In this case, the fire should be minimal. When cooking jam in a pan, it is necessary to achieve a uniform consistency, which will indicate the readiness of the treat.
Cans
After the dish has been prepared, it is poured hot on sterilized jars. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that an equal amount of fruit and liquid gets into each container. Then they are covered with lids and, turning upside down, put in a warm place for uniform cooling. When the jars have cooled, they are transferred to a dark place for long-term storage, where they will remain until use.
