Tips

1. Sugar is a good natural preservative. When making jam, the amount of sugar can be increased or decreased according to your taste, but it is best not to be less than 1/3 of the total amount of fruit. Too little sugar is not conducive to the preservation of jam. Maltose is rich in nutrients and has a special flavor, but its sweetness is only 1/3 of that of sucrose. If you don’t have it, you can use granulated sugar instead.

2. Apples are relatively sweet fruits. The addition of lemon can increase the fragrance and acidity of the jam, making the jam flavor better.

3. Bottle the jam while it is hot and then turn it upside down to further prevent the entry of air, which is beneficial for the preservation of the jam.

The pectin and cellulose in it can absorb bacteria and toxins, so it can help the intestines and stop diarrhea. Just eat one apple on an empty stomach every morning and evening to see the effect. To treat watery diarrhea, boil an appropriate amount of semi-ripe apples in water and eat them with the soup.

The organic acids and cellulose in apples can promote intestinal peristalsis, soften stools and facilitate excretion. Therefore, eating apples can promote bowel movements and treat dry stools. It is best to eat apples baked.
