Jam is one of the most beloved culinary delights around the world. However, it is often rich in added sugars that can compromise our health if consumed in excess.

With this recipe, I will guide you step by step in the preparation of an irresistible apple, lemon and cinnamon jam, without the addition of sugar. An explosion of taste and health that will delight the palate and be good for your body.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of apples (preferably sweet varieties such as Fuji or Gala apples)
• Juice of 2 lemons
• Grated zest of 1 lemon
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup water

Guidelines:

1. Preparation of the apples: Start by peeling, coring and cutting the apples into small pieces. Be sure to remove the seeds as well. Apples are the basis of our jam and provide the natural sweetness without the addition of sugar.
2. Cooking the apples: Put the apple pieces in a large pot together with the water and lemon juice. Turn on the stove over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it has reached a boil, reduce the heat and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The apples should soften and begin to form a compote-like consistency.
3. Adding the lemon and cinnamon: Once the apples are soft, add the grated lemon zest and ground cinnamon. These ingredients will give the jam a delicious aroma and a touch of freshness. Continue stirring and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
4. Blending and final baking: Now it’s time to turn the baked apples into a creamy, homogeneous texture. Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture directly into the pot until you get the desired consistency. If you prefer a more rustic jam, you can leave a few pieces of apple whole. Once you have reached your desired consistency, let it cook over low heat for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Storage: Once ready, pour the jam while still hot into sterilized jars and seal tightly. You can store it in the refrigerator for several weeks or use the vacuum jar storage technique for longer storage.

This sugar-free apple, lemon and cinnamon jam is a real treat for the palate and a healthy choice for your lifestyle. Thanks to the natural sweetness of apples and the fresh touch of lemon, you won’t miss the added sugar.

In addition, cinnamon adds not only spectacular flavor but also antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Spread this jam on slices of toast, combine it with Greek yogurt or use it as a filling for desserts.
