Apples are good to use in numerous ways. It can be used in ice cream and  milkshake, Apple pie is loved by all. When I have many apples, I like to toss them into a salad with a few nuts. 

When I decided to make apple pomegranate jam, the first reaction was, At last ! after a long time she is making it. I had the Granny Smith variety and used the same. The other varieties as Sweet Tango and Pink Lady can also be used in making apple jam as they have good quantity of pectin. 

If you extract the pomegranate juice ahead of preparation time, put it in the freezer  to keep the flavours intact. 

Why should you make this jam ? 

• Ideal as a spread for bread
• Children relish these variety of jam
• the excess fruits are not wasted
• it has no pectin in it

How long does it last ? 

Canning should be done properly, sterilize the bottles. Homemade canned food , if preserved rightly stay good for at least six months. That said, I prefer to prepare in small quantities, it is used within a month. 

The other kind of jam recipes shared earlier are : 

• Mixed Fruit Jam
• Mango Jam with Chia  seed - No Sugar and Pectin 
• Strawberry Jam
