Apple and Grape Jam

Rinse the apples, cut them into pieces, remove the cores, and slice into wedges.

Remove the grapes from the stems and rinse them.

Put the apples and grapes into a pot, add sugar, give it a gentle shake, pour in water, and shake gently again.

Bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer for about 7 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.

Stir in the ground ginger and cinnamon sticks, bring back to a boil, and simmer for 5 minutes, then cool again.

Repeat the heating and cooling cycle 4–6 times until the jam turns amber and reaches the desired thickness.

Remove the cinnamon sticks, bring the jam to a boil one last time, pour hot into sterilized jars, seal tightly, and leave upside down until completely cooled.
