Jam benefits
Apple jam, despite the high sugar content, is a useful product for the human body. It consists of apples, sugar and water, and it is worth noting that apples are invaluable for the body. The vitamins and minerals contained in them during heat treatment do not lose their properties.

The minerals contained in the dessert, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and manganese, help improve the quality of blood and strengthen the heart muscle, thus supporting the entire cardiovascular system. Vitamins A, C, E, K, PP and group B saturate the body, prevent the emergence of avitaminosis and reduce the level of infectious and bacterial diseases transmitted by airborne droplets. Antioxidants and flavonoids in the composition slow down the aging of the body and reduce the risk of cancer.

It is also worth noting that apple jam promotes weight loss, but on condition that it is used in small quantities, because sugar added during cooking gives dessert a high calorie content. Its energy value is 265 kcal.
Important! With care to dessert is to treat people with diabetes or prone to allergic reactions.

Check out the recipe for apple jam in a slow cooker.
Required Ingredients
To diversify the taste of dessert, the standard recipe can be supplemented with any fruit. For cooking will need:
- 500 grams of apples;
- 500 grams of oranges;
- 1 kilogram of sugar.
From such a quantity of products, 1 liter of apple-orange jam is obtained.
We advise you to prepare drinks from apples: tincture, juice (using a juicer and without), moonshine, wine, cider.
Step-by-step recipe
So, go directly to the recipe for delicacy:
- Rinse apples and oranges thoroughly under running water.
- From the fruit to remove the core and bones.
- Cut into small pieces of arbitrary shape.
- Put prepared fruits into the bowl of the multicooker.
- On top of the fruit, without stirring, pour sugar.
- Close the lid and select the program jam "Jam". If there is no such program, the Multipovar or Quenching programs can replace it.
- Upon stopping the cooking timer, mix the resulting base and chop with a blender until a homogeneous mass is formed.
- Pour the jam into prepared sterilized jars and close the lids.
- Cool at room temperature, then store for storage.
Important! If the program "Multipovar" or "Quenching" have an excessive degree of boiling, then at the initial stage the jam should be prepared with the lid fully open.
The seemingly initially liquid consistency of apple-orange jam, when completely cooled, will thicken and acquire the desired gel-like consistency.
Storage
The shelf life of the prepared dessert is in direct proportion to the amount of sugar added during its preparation. The fact is that sugar is a natural preservative and its use prolongs shelf life.
Sugar proportions for making apple-orange dessert provide good preservation and taste for 12 months from the date of preservation. It should be borne in mind that the amount of vitamins and minerals contained in the dessert decreases with time, and therefore the body's benefits will also be less.

Dessert did not go through an additional sterilization stage (ie, additional heat treatment) therefore it is recommended to store it in a dark and cool place at an air temperature of 10 ... 20 ° С. But the most suitable place to store is the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. 
Apple jam is a delicious dessert with simple cooking. The perfect combination of apples with other fruits and berries provides a variety of its species. The thick and jelly-like consistency of the dessert does not allow it to spread when used, which gives it the main quality - sudobstvo. In addition, apple jam contains many nutrients and carries the great benefits of the human body.
