How to make heavenly apples jam. A real sweet delicacy: transparent paradise apple jam with tails. Paradise apples whole

Chinese jam (paradise apples)

Miniature apples (Chinese)

There are several ways to make paradise apples jam - small apples similar in size and long stem to very large cherries. They are also called Chinese (or Chinese apples), and they grow on the apple tree.

Other small-fruited apples are Ranetki, which is a close relative of the Chinese woman. Therefore, jam from small ranetki and from paradise apples are cooked according to the same recipes.

What do they do with a Chinese woman before cooking jam

This is a common recipe for all, and the differences and proportions for syrup (sugar + water) and apple weights are shown in the table (see below).

At the same time, it is worth boiling no more than 2 kg of heavenly apples in a basin or apple slices... Otherwise, it will be difficult to mix and cook for a long time.

1. Shorten the tail

Most often, paradise apple jam is made from whole fruits with tails. The ponytails are shortened (cut off the hardest upper part, about 1/3 of the ponytail).

Why leave a ponytail: Firstly, the tail is not so easy to pull off (unlike cherries or cherries). And secondly, it is more convenient to take out paradise apples with tails from the syrup and eat.

2. Blanch and chop

• Throw the apples into boiling water and blanch for about 5 minutes. Then remove them from the boiling water and immediately cool (immerse in cold water).
• Chop the cooled apples in several places with a wooden toothpick or a pin (so that they are better saturated with syrup during the cooking process).

We prick each apple with a toothpick

3. Insist apples in syrup

• Immerse the chopped apples in boiling syrup (do not boil, turn off immediately).
• Insist for several hours (from 6 to 12, depending on the recipe and your free time).

4. Make jam

After infusion, the jam is cooked in two ways:

• in 1 reception (immediately until ready).
• five minutes (3 times after a certain time).

Very little foam is formed, I did not remove them at all, so as not to damage the apples. Stir with a wooden or Teflon spoon (also to keep the delicate skin of the Chinese woman intact or not crush the apple pieces).

In the pauses between boiling, the jam must be covered with a lid.

The proportions, time and other features of cooking according to different jam recipes are shown in the table (see below), individual recipes are illustrated step by step photos cooking.

Jam readiness

Readiness is judged either by time (for example, the recipe limits the cooking time = 20-40 minutes), or by external signs:

• apples should become translucent (which does not always work out and not for everyone);
• a wrinkled film will appear on the surface of the syrup (which means that it is already thick enough);
• when stirring, the jam does not drain from the walls of the basin, like water, but sticks to them.

Some housewives advise to judge by a drop that does not spread over the saucer (as in ordinary jam). However, it should be borne in mind that jelly jam is obtained from apples rich in pectin. Therefore, in order not to digest and thicken the jam unnecessarily ( thick jam, having frozen, will become even thicker, approaching the candied fruits, and will not be so tender), it is better to follow the principle by which readiness is judged - as soon as it began to stick to the walls, it is ready.

Paradise apples in syrup

This is how apples in jam are made.

Chinese jam with slices

There is an option for making jam in slices. Cooking in slices or slices is convenient when not all apples are perfect. Then you need to remove the bad part, and put the good part in the jam.

When cooking in slices, the Chinese do not need to blanch and prick. Just cut into 4 parts, remove the core and tail (after cleaning and discarding from 2.5 kg of china, I got 1.5 kg of slices for jam). According to the same recipes, you can cook large apples, cut into pieces or wedges.

The slices are covered with sugar (either mixed, or in layers: apples-sugar-apples-sugar). And insist with sugar for 10-12 hours at room temperature. And then they boil it by adding a little water. The further technology of cooking Chinese slices is the same as for jam from whole apples with a tail (in 1 reception or five minutes in several stages).
