Peel apples from seeds and cut into thin slices. Separate the pulp from the pits of the plums. And cut the berries themselves into halves and smaller pieces. Try not to crush them so that your apple and plum jam has an attractive, marketable appearance. And so that the apples do not turn black while you are processing them, put the slices in s alted water. When you cope with cleaning, combine the fruits in a wide basin, shake several times to mix them. Sprinkle cinnamon and some sugar on top. Cover the basin and leave for a few hours for the fruit to release its juice. After that, pour in water and put the basin on fire. Wait until the apple jam with plum boils, keep it in this state for 10 minutes, then set aside for 7 hours. Repeat the procedure again, remembering to mix the workpiece thoroughly for even heating. It is better to do this with a wooden spatula. After the 4th boiling for 10 minutes, pour the finished jam into sterile jars and roll up.

In passing, we note that if you find it difficult to choose varieties of fruits, then Paradise, Antonovka, Anis, Pepin, Ranet, Simirenko are great for canning. And from the plums - the famous Hungarian, Mirabelle, Renklod, Peach. The main condition is that the pulp is dense enough and does not boil soft, and the bones are easily removed. Cherry plums are often put in homemade apple and plum jam for the winter. True, it has to be cooked separately, rubbed through a sieve or colander to select the bones. And then add to the apples. The proposed "homemade" jam is prepared from 1.5 kg of one type of fruit and 1 kg of others - at the discretion of the housewives. Sugar is required within 2 kg.

From 2.5 glasses of water and 1 kg of sugar, make a syrup (dissolve in boiling water, boil for 5 minutes, removing the foam, strain) and, without letting it cool, pour over the fruit hot.
