Ingredients
- 1kg Bramley apples, peeled, cored and chopped
- 250g caster sugar
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 1 cinnamon stick
Method
1. Put a small plate in the freezer. Tip the chopped apple and caster sugar into a large saucepan, along with 350ml water, and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
2. Cook gently, stirring regularly, for 30 minutes, or until the apples have collapsed.
3. Stir in the lemon juice, add the cinnamon stick and simmer gently for another 2 - 3 minutes, until the mixture is thick and glossy.
4. Remove the small plate from the freezer and drop a little of the mix onto it. Leave for a few seconds – it should be fairly firm. If it is still a little runny, put the plate back in the freezer and the pan back on the heat, and simmer for another 10 - 15 minutes. Test again on the plate - it should now be ready.
5. Divide between clean, sterilised jars and seal. Will keep for three months in a cool, dry place. Once opened, chill and use within one month.
