Candied Apple Jam

Last updated on March 25th, 2022.

Candied Apple Jam is the perfect use for when you go crazy at the market and buy few apples too many.

Lat week, when I baked  This Crusty Apple Slab Pie, I made the mistake of peeling and slicing way too many apples. Using this recipe was the best use for the extra apples.

I called this recipe Candied Apple Jam because, with this one you first cook the sugar and water for 20 minutes and then add the apples unlike other Jam recipes where you cook the sugar and fruit together.

About the Recipe:

• You can use which ever apples type you might have in hand.
• Cook the water and sugar on low, simmer heat.The idea is to thicken the sugar not to caramelized so making sue there is no color change is very important.
• Do not over cook the apples. Over cooking will result in a sticky and chewy mess.

HAPPY BAKING!!!
