Caramel Apple Jam

My mom called me the other day saying she made this wonderful apple jam that everyone loves. She chopped the apples into small pieces and cook them in the caramel sauce. The caramel sauce gave this apple jam a shinny amber color and lovely caramel flavor. I was just wondering how to use up the excess apples in my kitchen. This recipe came in just in time. You can add this jam to your homemade yogurt, spread on your bread or scone, or even add a little to your black tea, adding some fruity flavor to the tea. This jam can be stored in the fridge for about two weeks.

Caramel Apple Jam

Ingredients:

2 apples

50ml water

120g sugar (for the apple)

150g sugar (for caramel sauce)

Juice of one lemon

1. Chop apples into small pieces. Then mix up with 120g sugar and lemon juice.

2. Combine water and 150g sugar in a small sauce pan and cook over medium heat. Keep stirring until the sauce has turned golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
