Apple Jam

1. 1

   Peel the apple and cut into about 1 cm slices or cubes.

2. 2

   Depending on the brand of apple, the season, and if you want a smoother jam, chopping the fruit into smaller pieces will make it easier to cook and mash.

3. 3

   Also, soaking the cut apple in saltwater for 5-10 minutes will help soften it.

4. 4

   Place the apple, salt, and water into a pot.

5. 5

   Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat.

6. 6

   Once the apples become transparent, lightly stir it as it simmers to prevent burning.

7. 7

   If you want a smooth jam, mash the apples as you stir.

8. 8

   Once the liquid has evaporated, it's done.
