Making some apple jam.

The other day, the apple farmer and his wife whom we have purchased apples from visited us to sell some apples. We bought some and cooked apple jam.

When I cook some apple jam, I just use some apples, squeezed lemon, some sugar and some stick cinnamon. That's all. No additions, preservatives at all. Sometimes people say they add some water to simmer but I don't add any water. I just leave apples and sugar together in a pan for 1-2 hours, then some water come out from the apples, then it's time for me to start simmering the pan for hours until it's done. But anyway, it's not a small amount as you see, it takes entire day from early in the morning throughout late evening.
