【Ingredients required】
3 apples, 160 grams of sugar, 20 grams of lemon juice.
(1) Prepare 3 medium apples, wash and pit. Do not peel, because apple peel is also rich in pectin, and it is easier to succeed with the skin. Cut into small pieces, and after pitting, there is about a pound of pulp.
(2) Pour the apple pieces into the pot, add a pound of water, just past the apple, not too much, otherwise it will prolong the boiling time. Then cook over medium-low heat for 40 minutes.
(3) Cook until the apples are soft and rotten, and the soup is slightly yellow. Filter out the apple juice and squeeze the apple pomace out well. Pour the filtered apple juice back into the pan and add 160 grams of sugar, or rock sugar. Add 20 grams of lemon juice again, and half a lemon is enough to squeeze. Adding lemon juice can increase the gum yield, but also brighten the color, and antiseptic. Then continue to simmer over medium-low heat for about half an hour.
(4) The specific time is not set in stone and should be judged according to the actual state. Cook until thick bubbles bubble up in the pot and simmer for another 5 minutes. Scooping up the juice with a spoon can clearly feel thickened, and the dripping juice on the spoon has slowed down. And the residual juice on the back of the spoon can be kneaded by hand into a gelatinous shape, at which time the heat can be turned off.
(5) Prepare a glass bottle that is resistant to high temperature, blanch it with boiling water in advance, and save it for a longer time after sterilization and disinfection. Then pour the apple gum in while it is hot and seal it tightly. Usually, it can be used as a food thickener and coagulant, as a fudge, and as a boiling jam.
