Wash the apples in cold water, remove the stems, and place the apples in an enameled bowl. Sprinkle the apples with sugar, add water, and set the bowl in a warm place.
The next day, simmer the apples on low heat for one and a half to two hours.
To check whether the jam is ready, drop a little syrup onto a saucer and separate the drop into two halves. If the halves slowly come back together, the jam is done.
For every cup of apples, use 1 cup of sugar and 2 to 2.5 tablespoons of water.
