Description
Thanks to pectin, the apple jam truly looks transparent, like melted butter, but, of course, contains minimal sugar and not a gram of fat. It is made by long simmering (at least three times) apple slices with cornelian cherries, which are currently in peak season. The cherries nestle within the depths of the jam as neat red beads. The most challenging part of the recipe is removing the pits from the cherries. However, the reward is a healthy sweetness and a jar full of vitamin C.
Ingredients
- Cornelian Cherry - 24.7 oz
- Apple - 4 lbs
- Sugar - 4 lbs
- Ginger - 2.5 oz
- Oranges - 1 piece
- Lemon - 1 piece

Step 3
Slice the orange into half-moons and the lemon into rounds.
Step 4
Grate the ginger using a fine grater.
