Sloes are excellent with apple jam, ie add about half the weight of the apples in sloes and strain through seive after cooking – yum!

Great recipe. I added about 4 TBS of lemon juice and a handful of currents to spice it up a bit.

Lovely!

Thank you!

[...] jam with apples as the primary fruit just hasn’t been all that great (I did get close with my Apple-Ginger Jam, but it still wasn’t quite right). That is, until [...]

I have just watched a really interesting programme about UK home style cooking and thought you might like to know that people of my grandparents’ generation apparently would often complain when they were our age, that bought jam was ‘all apples’, particularly marmalade. During the war, and I suppose for a while after, there just wasn’t any citrus to make marmalade with. Apples were homegrown and cheap – jam makers could use windfalls to bulk up whatever other fruits they were jamming.

I’m thinking maybe this is why you can never really buy apple jams, at least in the UK: maybe there has been a stigma!

Yours looks nice though

Oh my! That was so clever how you made the ginger pulp. I too have pondered how to get ginger in without the weird ginger texture or having ginger chunks. This was the perfect solution. I can’t wait to try it!

Oh, I made some spiced apple syrup for Christmas gifts last year, too.Apples spiced with cinnamon and cloves and with maple syrup. I forget exactly how it went. It was in a magazine (a Canadian magazine). It was fantastic on pancakes.

Apple jam – I’m going to have to try that sometime. I’ve only made crabapple jelly, but jam would be wonderful.
Last summer I made spiced peach jam, with ginger and cloves and cinnamon. It was so, so good. Good on toast and good with vanilla ice cream!

I like that you grated the apple. I did a pear ginger preserve recently and diced it. Very chunky. Which is not bad at all, but I think I might grate it next time. Sounds grate! (Umm. Sorry.)
