- You can cover and cook for about 8-10 mts or till the pieces are soft.
- Now with a masher mash the cooked apples nicely.
- Add 1/2 cup sugar to it and stir.
- You will see that sugar dissolves and makes the jam watery in consistency.
KEEP ON STIRRING OR ELSE IT WILL STICK TO THE BOTTOM AND BURN
- After a few mts, the jam starts thickening.
- Continue till the jam starts forming a lump and no water content is seen on the sides of the pan.
- TO TEST PUT JAM ON A PLATE, THE JAM DOES NOT MOVE BUT STICKS TO THE PLATE.
- This means that jam is done. Put off the flame.
