Blend the apples and cook with sugar
Now, take the apples out of the pan and put them into a blender, blend until smooth.
Then pour all the blended apple mixture into the pan and cook.
Add 500gr of sugar and cook the apple mixture over medium-low heat for 7 – 10 minutes, then add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, stir well, and cook for another 2 minutes before turning off the heat.
Once the apple jam has thickened, it is done.

Add food coloring and finish
