I am posting in this blog ,recipes which my 87 years old mother used in her cooking. Some of these are her own, some from her friends,some hand me downs from her elders etc etc. So the variety is awesome and as an admirer of his grandma's cooking, my son Arvind created this blog so that my mother's age old recipes can be shared with one and all .I have also posted some of my "tried and tested" recipes, especially the Non-vegetarian ones.I thought a purely vegetarian recipes' blog can be made more interesting with some non-veg recipes thrown inbetween.

Apple Ginger Jam



Ingredients:
Apples: 1 kg
Sugar: 1 kg
Ginger: 50 gms
Limes: 2
Citric acid: 1 tsp
A few drops of colour if desired

Method:

Core apples and cut into small cubes, scrape and clean ginger and chop fine. Pressure cook these with a little water for 8 mins. ( You can also cook these in Microwave)
Extract puree by passing through a fine strainer or mesh. You can also use a crusher and then strain to extract the puree.

Add sugar, citric acid and lime juice to the puree in a thick vessel and boil rapidly, stir with a wooden spoon and remove scum from the top of the mixture. When the setting point is reached remove from fire, add colour and KMS ( optional). Bottle while still hot in a clean dry glass jar. Don't forget to keep the bottle on a wooden surface lest it cracks when hot jam is poured.

To test if the jam is done, drop a blob of jam in a bowl of cold water and if done it will remain as a shiny blob, if not it will start dissolving.
