Steps

  1. Peel the apples and dice them into small pieces. TIPS: The ratio of apples to white sugar is 1/6-1/2. The lowest sugar I choose is 1/6. There cannot be less sugar.

  6. Then take it out and place it in a baking mesh or a vegetable basket to dry the water like in an oven, and the disinfection is complete. TIPS: There is another sterilization method: put the glass bottles in the middle and lower layers of the oven at 100 degrees, bake for 5 to 10 minutes to sterilize! After the oven is sterilized, carefully take it out with heat-proof gloves and set it aside to cool. The sterilization of the jam jar is complete.

  7. After the apples are marinated in water, cut the passion fruit open and scoop out the pulp and juice with a spoon. TIPS: The seeds of passion fruit can be eaten. Eat them first to see if you don’t like them. If you don’t like them, filter out the seeds. The seeds will look more beautiful if you leave them alone. I want to put in more passion fruit, I only have 4 left at home.

  11. Foam will form during the cooking process. Remember to use a slotted spoon to remove the foam so that the color of the jam will look good. Don't walk away, use a shovel to mash the pulp from time to time, and part of it will become apple puree.

  12. When you see that the water has almost finished boiling, put some water in a small bowl and add a drop of jam. If the jam melts, it means it is not cooked yet. Simmer for a while; on the contrary, if it does not melt and remains semi-solidified, it means it is ready. On the far left, drop in the clear fruit jam and let it melt. After another 2 minutes, add the 2 drops on the right side and it will be ready. (The photo taken in this step is very blurry. I chose the same picture of blueberry jam)

  13. I dropped it twice and it melted, but the third time it was in this semi-solidified state. It took a total of 25 minutes to cook. It seemed like a lot of time, but before you knew it, it went by very quickly. TIPS: You can taste it before taking it out of the pan. If it feels sweet, you can add lemon juice to taste.

  14. Start bottling, don't turn off the heat, turn to the lowest heat, and immediately put it into the sterilized glass bottle just now while it's hot, just fill it to 80% full. TIPS: Make sure the water in the bottle is drained at this time. If the temperature is lower than 85 degrees, bacteria will invade. Keep the fire low to maintain the temperature.
