Apple Jam

Apple Jam

Overview

Because no additives are added, it can only be stored in the refrigerator for more than 1 month without opening the lid. When choosing apples, be careful not to choose apples with too strong fruity aroma, because apples will emit a refreshing fragrance when they are nine-tenths of ripe. When the fruity aroma is too strong, the apples are overripe and it is not easy to cook the pectin.
