A classic Ukrainian winter pantry preserve, this apple spread is made by cooking mashed apples with sugar, cloves, and cinnamon until thick. Its spiced aroma gives it a distinctive flavor compared with simple apple jam.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Simmer the apples

15 min

Put the chopped apples and water in a pot and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.

2

Mash the apples

5 min

Mash the softened apples with a fork or blend them.

3

Simmer with the sugar

35 min

Add the sugar, lemon juice, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Simmer over low heat, stirring often, for 35 minutes, until thick.

4

Fill the jars

10 min

Remove the cloves and cinnamon stick. Spoon the hot preserves into clean jars, seal the lids, and turn the jars upside down.

Reminder

Stir often while simmering so the preserves do not stick to the bottom of the pot; the smooth apple mixture can cling to the pan easily.

Karanfil yerine yıldız anason kullansam tadı çok mu değişir, yoksa yine de benzer bir baharatlı sonuç mu alırım acaba? Elimde hiç karanfil kalmamıştı da bu yüzden merak edip soruyorum.
