Apple and cinnamon jam is an explosion of sweet and spicy flavors that makes every breakfast a real pleasure. If you’re looking for a healthier alternative to traditional jam full of sugar, you’ve come to the right place.

This recipe will guide you step by step to make a delicious, sugar-free jam that is perfect for spreading on toast, cookies, or even to accompany cheeses.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 kg of apples (preferably sweet apples such as Golden Delicious or Fuji)
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the apples: Wash the apples thoroughly under running water. Peel them and remove the seeds. Cut them into cubes of similar size to ensure even cooking.
2. Cooking: Put the apple cubes in a large pot together with the water and lemon juice. Turn on the heat over medium heat and bring everything to a boil.
3. Add spices: Once the apples have started to simmer, add the cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well and reduce the heat. Let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples become soft and turn into a kind of compote.
4. Mash the apples: When the apples are soft enough to mash easily with a fork, turn off the heat and use a potato masher or fork to mash the apples until they have a smooth consistency.
5. Reduce: Return the pot to the heat over low heat and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the jam has thickened to the desired consistency. This should take about another 15-20 minutes.
6. Cool and store: Once you have reached your desired consistency, remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Transfer the jam while still hot into sterilized glass jars and seal them tightly. Allow to cool completely to room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator.

This sugar-free apple cinnamon jam is a treat to enjoy on a slice of toast in the morning or as an accompaniment to aged cheeses.

You can store it in the fridge for about two weeks, but I’m sure it will be consumed much sooner! Enjoy your meal.
