Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 medium apples (I used 3 Gala Apples // 2 cups chopped // 600g)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup fresh apple juice OR water (187ml)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp maple syrup*
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon, optional
Instructions
- Fill a large bowl with water halfway and mix in salt. Peel the apples and then place them into the salty water for 5 minutes. Reserve the apple skin.
- Core and chop apples into 1 cm sized pieces cubes.
- Add the apples, apple skin, fresh apple juice, chia seeds, lemon juice, maple syrup and cinnamon (if using) into a medium pot and bring to a low boil.
- Simmer the jam 18-20 minutes over medium low until the apples are very tender and all the liquid has evaporated. Stir every 5 minutes with a wooden spoon. If the liquid has evaporated very quickly and the apples are not yet tender, add in 1-3 tbsp more apple juice or water. Remove the apple skins at around 10-15 minutes or when the apple skin has become dull.
- Using the back of a wooden spoon, mash 50-60% of the apples until desired consistency.
- Immediately transfer the jam into a well sterilized jar and close securely with a lid. Allow the jam to cool at room temperature and then refrigerate.
Notes
- *If using water, increase maple syrup to 2-3 tbsp.
