Transparent apple and dogwood jam
20 servings
60 minutes
Thanks to pectin, apple jam really does look transparent, like melted butter, but, of course, it contains a minimal amount of sugar and not a gram of fat. It is prepared by boiling apple slices with dogwood berries for a long time ( at least three times), which are also now in their prime. The dogwood hardens in the depths of the jam into neat red beads. The hardest part of the recipe is to remove the seeds from the dogwood. But the reward will be a healthy sweetness and a vitamin C ammunition contained in the jar.
