Apple jam is a sweet and fragrant dessert rooted in Russian cuisine. It is made from Antonovka apples, known for their sweet-sour notes and rich flavor. Historically, this recipe has been passed down through generations, remaining one of the most popular ways to preserve fruits for winter. The jam turns out thick and amber-colored, with delicate caramelized pieces that melt in the mouth. Through repeated boiling and cooling, the apples retain their shape while soaking in syrup. It pairs perfectly with tea, pancakes or pastries and can also serve as a base for fillings and sauces. This simple yet exquisite recipe adds warmth to family tea gatherings and evokes fond memories of home.
