Apple jam with chokeberry. Aronia jam

This year I decided to cook apple jam in a new way - with chokeberry for the winter. It tasted just amazing. The recipe is simple, and the result - lick your fingers. I myself did not expect that such a combination of gifts from the garden would give an amazing result.

The apple slices in the five-minute jam turned out to be transparent and pleasantly crispy in taste, and the chokeberry berries add a special piquancy, originality and amazing color to the dessert. I recommend everyone to cook at home.
You will need:

1 kg of apples is better than dense green ones (I took 2 varieties - sweet and sour from a semi-wild apple tree);
4 - 6 handfuls of chokeberry (depending on the palm and taste);
3 - 4 cups of granulated sugar;
2 glasses of water.

Recipe for apple jam slices with black chokeberry five minutes

Wash the apples thoroughly with soda or salt and rinse. Cut into slices (the shape of the month) approximately 0.3-0.5 mm wide. If the slice is large, then cut it in half across. Get the type of triangles.
Tear off the stalks of rowan berries, pour into a colander, rinse under running water.
Pour water into a saucepan, put on fire, add sugar, mix.

As soon as the sugar dissolves and the syrup gurgles, add the chokeberry berries and boil them in sugar for 15 minutes.
Now add thin slices of apples to the syrup with berries and cook on low heat for 5 minutes (after boiling).

Turn off, let cool, soak naturally with syrup. Then shake the pan or basin and set the apple jam to cook for another 5 minutes.

Five-minute - this is the name of the cooking method because we cook for five minutes. And so that as a result the workpiece turned out to be very tasty and stored for a long time, we do it in 2 stages.
When we make sweets for the winter, watch the fire - it should not be strong, or rather, after boiling, cook on the lowest fire so that the apple slices do not boil too much.

Tasty note: You can add a small pinch of citric acid or a dash of cinnamon if desired. And they also put it with fruits and berries - cherry leaves (literally - 7-10 leaves). My version is without additives, but culinary experiments are always welcome.

During the second preparation, we sterilize prepared (thoroughly washed) jars and lids.

I do it simply. I put a pot of water on the stove, put on a special hoop, put a jar on it and sterilize it until the moisture from the walls evaporates.
If foam appears, carefully collect it with a spoon in a separate bowl. We turn off the gas. Banks are conveniently located.
Now we lay out our beautiful and very tasty apple jam with slices of apples with chokeberry directly hot in jars for the winter. I guarantee food.

Everything, we close the lids, you can simply screw them. Turned it over and checked to see if it was leaking. Cover with a damp cloth and let cool naturally.

The mountain ash does not have a strong taste, although it introduces a characteristic sour note. It turns out much more interesting than usual.

How to make blackberry jam with apples

We wash the chokeberry under cool running water, cut off all the tails and put them in a colander or sieve.

Pour water into a saucepan (so that it completely hides the berry), bring it to a boil and lower the blackberry into boiling water. Boil the berries for 5-7 minutes, then take out and let the water drain.

At the same time, prepare the syrup. Pour about 2/3 of sugar into a saucepan, add water to the same place, put the saucepan on the stove and, with constant stirring, bring the syrup to a boil. After boiling, let the syrup gurgle for 3-5 minutes - and the syrup is ready. The sugar must be completely dissolved.

After that, we remove the jam from the stove and, closing the saucepan with a lid, leave it to stand for 8-10 hours. I left it overnight, and in the morning I added apples to the chokeberry.

But first they also need to be prepared. We clean the apples from the skin and seeds, then cut into slices about 2-3 mm thick.

Dip the apple slices in boiling water, let them boil for 7-10 minutes. and, throwing them in a colander, immediately after cooking, cool them with a stream of cold water.

Pour the remaining sugar into the syrup with chokeberry, bring it to a boil and let it boil for literally 2-3 minutes.

Then we introduce cooled apple slices, lemon juice and cinnamon into the jam. Adjust the amount of lemon juice and cinnamon to your taste. I ended up adding the juice of a whole lemon and 0.5 tsp. cinnamon.

We boil the chokeberry with apples for 10 minutes, noticing the time after the jam boils, then remove it from the stove and again leave it to infuse for 7-8 hours. This is what the jam looks like after the second cooking.

After insisting for the third time, boil the jam for 10 minutes, turning on the medium heat of the stove - and it's ready! You can pour it into jars both hot and cooled. It is only important that the jars are sterile and dry.
