Welcome back to the Simple Recipe Box podcast with your host, Ben Harper! Today, we're diving into a delightful recipe that'll transform your breakfast: homemade apple jam with a secret twist. Whether you're spreading it on toast or dolloping it on pancakes, this jam is about to become your new morning favorite.
Let’s start with what you’ll need. Grab some fresh apples – a mix of sweet and tart varieties like Granny Smith, Gala, and Fuji works best. You’ll also need granulated sugar, a bit of water, and for our secret twist – a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. These spices add a comforting warmth, perfect for cozy morning meals.
Now, onto the process – it's easier than you might think! Begin by peeling and chopping your apples into small pieces. This ensures they cook evenly. In a large saucepan, combine your apples, sugar, water, and the spices we mentioned earlier. Stir everything together and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer. You’ll see the apples soften and the mixture thicken – that’s your jam coming together!
After about 30-40 minutes, check the consistency. If the jam coats the back of a spoon and holds its shape when cooled, it’s ready. Remove from heat and mash the apples right in the saucepan to your desired texture. Let it cool, then transfer your freshly made jam to airtight containers. It’ll keep in the fridge for up to two weeks or in the freezer for six months.
Now, how about serving? Apple jam isn’t just for toast. Try it on waffles, stir it into yogurt, or even pair it with cheese on a charcuterie board. The sweet and tart flavors enhance just about any dish, making it a versatile addition to your pantry.
And there you have it, folks – homemade apple jam with a simple twist that elevates your breakfast to a whole new level. It’s easy, delicious, and sure to impress. Thanks for tuning in, and remember, the joy of cooking is all about sharing great flavors and moments. Until next time, keep cooking and keep savoring every bite!
