Apple and cinnamon jam is an explosion of sweet and spicy flavors that makes every breakfast a real pleasure. If you’re looking for a healthier alternative to traditional sugar-filled jam, you’re in the right place.

This recipe will guide you step by step to make delicious, sugar-free jam in the first place Here’s what the story is about, perfect for spreading on toast, biscuits or even to accompany cheeses.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 kg of apples (preferably sweet apples such as Golden Delicious or Fuji)
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the apples : Wash the apples carefully under running water. Peel them and remove the seeds. Cut them into similar sized cubes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Cooking : Place the apple cubes in a large pan together with the water and lemon juice. Turn the heat on to medium heat and bring everything to the boil.
  3. Add spices : Once the apples have started to simmer, add the cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well and reduce the heat. Leave to simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples become soft and turn into a sort of compote.
  4. Mash the apples : When the apples are soft enough to mash easily with a fork, turn off the heat and use a potato masher or fork to mash the apples until smooth.
  5. Reduce : Place the pan back on the stove over low heat and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the jam has thickened to the desired consistency. This should take about another 15-20 minutes.
  6. Cool and store : Once the desired consistency is reached, remove from the heat and leave to cool for a few minutes. Transfer the still hot jam into sterilized glass jars and seal them hermetically. Allow to cool completely to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator.

This sugar-free apple and cinnamon jam is a delight to enjoy on a slice of toast in the morning or as an accompaniment to mature cheeses.

You can keep it in the fridge for about two weeks, but I’m sure it will be used much sooner! Enjoy your meal.
