Sugar and salt: Using a pinch of salt always enhance the flavor of sugar. You can adjust the sugar quantity.

How to make Apple jam?
Wash the apples and peel them.
Cut the apples in slices or cubes.
Take a saucepan add sliced apples and add water into it.
First, boil it on high flame for 3 minutes then cook on medium flame until apples cooked completely. It takes 10 to 15 minutes depends on the apple’s texture. Then turn off the heat and set aside to cool down.
After that seive the apples with the help of straighter. Or you can also use grinder for puree them.
Then take a pan add Apple puree and cook on high flame for 4 to 5 minutes.
Now add sugar and cook on low to medium flame.
Add salt.
Add lemon juice. Taste the mixture, if you want more tangy flavor then add more lemon juice.
Cook for 25 minutes on medium flame. Stire it occasionally. When the water evaporates and the apple mixture turns thick, not too much just like pouring consistency.
Then take a small saucepan add 5 ml water or agar agar.
Stir continuously and cook on low flame for 4 minutes. Then pour it into the Apple mixture. Mix it well. You can avoid this step too.
Add red food color. Again mix it well and cook for more than 7 minutes on medium flame. Turn off the heat and allow it to come at room temperature.
Then pour into an air tight glass jar. And place it in the refrigerator. When Apple jam is set, it looks like this.
