tasty, sweet and delicious

It’s best to soak the raisins in the brandy overnight so they can absorb the liquid. About an hour before cooking, combine the apples with the gelling sugar and lemon juice, cover, and let stand to infuse. Then add everything to the pot and heat on low until the apples soften. Meanwhile, add the soaked raisins. When the apples are slightly soft (but still have their shape), bring to a boil until the jam sets. Pour the mixture into prepared jam jars (prepared jam jars = clean and ideally sterilized with boiling water shortly beforehand). Screw the lids on tightly, turn upside down for 5 minutes, and let cool. Tip: This is not just suitable as jam, but also as a homemade filling for apple strudel, as a delicious sauce for ice cream, etc. – so it’s always ready to hand. The amounts of brandy and raisins are a matter of taste, but the main thing is to stick to a 2:1 ratio of gelling sugar for the apples.
