Recipe

Wash the apples thoroughly under running water, peel them, and neatly remove the cores.
Dice the prepared apples into small cubes about 7–8 mm in size — this helps give the jam a pleasant, soft texture.
Place all the diced apples into the inner pot of the rice cooker. Add 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of raw sugar, 1 tbsp of lemon juice, 1/3 tsp of cinnamon powder, and 2 pinches of salt in that order.
Stir the ingredients well with a spatula to ensure they don't stick to the bottom and the moisture is evenly distributed.
Close the rice cooker lid and set it to the lock position. Choose the multi-purpose steam function or the mixed grain course (44 minutes) and start cooking.
Once the cooking cycle is done, open the lid, stir everything thoroughly, then transfer the jam to a separate container and let it cool slightly before serving.

Peel and core the apples, then dice into small 7–8 mm cubes.
Put the apples, water, raw sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon powder, and salt into the rice cooker and stir evenly.
Cook on the mixed grain course for 44 minutes, then mix well with a spatula and let cool.

Cooking tips

Cutting the apples into 7–8 mm cubes rather than mincing them too finely gives a much better chewy texture after cooking.
The regular white rice course is too short and won't allow the apples to reduce sufficiently, so always use the longer mixed grain course.
Adding just two pinches of salt enhances the natural sweetness of the apples and raw sugar, giving the jam a richer flavor.

Recommended for

People who have a lot of leftover apples at home and want to use them up in a unique way.
People who find it tedious to stand over a pot adjusting the heat and stirring jam.
People who want a less sweet, premium homemade jam with a delicate cinnamon aroma, better than store-bought.
