A prerequisite for the method is dry and hot weather. In the sun the product will reach readiness in 3-4 days, in the shade it will take about a week.

Apple juice – vitamins in liquid form

Apple juice is a storehouse of vitamins, especially in winter. Skin, hair, nails will be immensely grateful for such nutrition, and adding apple juice to various lotions and masks will significantly speed up the expected result. Freshly squeezed juice is an excellent drink, but the necessary varieties of apples for preparation are not always on hand. In this case, canned apple juice is an alternative.

The process of making apple juice at home - pictured

The varieties suitable for its production are Grushovka, Anis, Titovka, Antonovka, etc., since the fruits of these trees are distinguished by their juiciness and excellent taste. The fruit should not have any signs of spoilage or the presence of worms; it is better to stick to sweet and sour, ripe, strong specimens.

1. Wash the fruits thoroughly, remove the skin and seed pods, cut into slices;
2. Pass the slices through a juicer. Pour the juice into the pan no more than 2/3 full and bring to 95 degrees with constant stirring. If sour apples were used to make the drink, add sugar (100 g/1 l or more, depending on the variety);
3. During the sterilization process, foam forms on the surface of the juice, which must be removed;
4. Pour the resulting product into pasteurized hot bottles and cover with a boiled lid;
5. Turn the jars upside down, wrap them in a blanket and leave for several days until they cool completely.

Note to the housewife: during sterilization, apple juice is concentrated, so it should be immediately diluted with water or zucchini juice. The proportion is as follows - 1 glass of zucchini juice per 3 liters of apple juice. This will make the taste more delicate, and the product itself will receive additional bonuses in the form of vitamins.

Note to the hostess: to improve the taste, the water intended for cooking the dessert can be boiled in advance, adding anise and cloves to it, strain the resulting infusion and use it to prepare sweets.

Making apple jam and sweet jam

For apple jam, you can use absolutely any variety, the main thing is that the fruit is not wormy, with intact skin, sweet, ripe and hard. If you prefer jam with sourness, you can use unripe fruits. Before preparing jam, rinse the fruits thoroughly, dry them and remove seeds. There is no need to remove the skin - this will prevent the slices from falling apart. For a classic homemade dessert for the winter you will need - 2 kg of fruits, 1.5 kg of granulated sugar, a pinch of cinnamon.

1. Cut the fruit into plates or slices, place in a basin, cover with sugar and leave overnight;

3. Turn off and cool the mixture completely;
4. Repeat the process twice. At the last stage, add cinnamon;
5. Pour the finished dessert into prepared jars and roll up.

Note to the housewife: if a drop of syrup on a spoon does not spread and holds its shape, the jam is ready.

Apple jam is prepared in the same proportions as jam. The difference between jam and marmalade is that the first dessert should contain whole pieces of fruit, and the second dish should be boiled to a thick, uniform mass. Therefore, if you want to make delicious jam, be sure to peel the apples and boil until tender. This is a simple recipe for preparing apples for the winter, which can be used both independently (sweetness for tea) and in the form of a variety of fillings for pies, rolls, and buns.
