-Apple Jam-

Respect-for-senior-citizens-day is called 'Keirou no hi'.
On that day grandchild/children visit their grandparents to do nice thing on that day.

I normally give a present them.
This time I gave to my grandma Apple Jam. I made it yesterday.


-Handmade Label-
Ringo jam (Apple jam)


-Appearance-


-Ingredients-
Apple, lemon juice (1 tbs) and sugar.

-Recipe-
1. Peering the apple and take out the core.
2. Slice the apple and put it in the pan. Pour the sugar and lemon juice and wait few mins.
3. The heat it up. First high heat then low heat. Keep stirring (Do not burnt) until easy to break down.
4. Squish as much as you like. (All, half or even you can feel the apple)
5. Put it in a jar which sterile (put in the boiling water) then put a lid on and turn over little while.

This time I put sugar about 20% from after peering apple's weight.
Sugar amount depends on the variety of the apple. If it sour need to put more sugar. Also if you like sweet one, you need to put more.

You can just throw apple skin and core out, but I made into shervet before throw them.
The skin and core put in boiling water with sugar and boil until the skin colour is came out in the hot water.
Take out the skin and core then pour the juice into the containe. When it is cooled down put in the freezer.
