Honey Lemon Apple Jam Recipe. For months now, I’ve been working on finding a way to make a jam from apples that is satisfying and, well, jammy. The problem with apples is if you try and cook them raw with sugar, which is the way you approach the fruit in most jam recipes, the apples don’t break down. They stay hard and firm, releasing little of their sugars and leaving you with a final product that is closer to marmalade than jam. In some recipes, such as my Cranberry-Apple Jam, this isn’t such a bad thing. The cranberries and sugar do the jammy work, and the apples add nice texture and mouthfeel. But up until down, I’ve found that making a good jam with apples as the primary fruit just hasn’t been all that great (I did get close with my Apple-Ginger Jam, but it still wasn’t quite right).
That is, until now. This time, I cooked the apples down into a sauce with two cups of lemon juice before adding the sugar. You may be wondering why I’m so excited to find a good apple jam technique. Ingredients Instructions. LILI - cheesemaking. What is it? Cheesemaking is using the protein and some of the fat and mineral salts from milk to make something that keeps better than milk does. It's a way of preserving the milk by taking most of the moisture out. Cheese was the first 'convenience' food, and it was probably first properly made around 5000 years ago in the Middle East. We can't be 100% sure, but vessels from that era have been found that look as though they were for draining curd.
Making cheese was an efficient way of storing milk protein for when there wasn't much milk around, and in the Medieval period it was a useful source of protein through the winter. In all cultures where milk is part of the diet, cheese is also made. Curd is the solid produced either by heat and acidity, or the addition of rennet. There are 3 basic types of cheese. Most soft and hard cheeses are variants of type 2. What are the benefits? What can I do? Start with something simple - just add lemon juice or vinegar to hot milk. Resources. Making Cheese at Home - Real Food. The recipe that follows is a basic formula for producing natural (uncolored, unprocessed) hard cheese at home. Keep in mind, however, that domestic cheesemaking is an imprecise art at best. Many variables—such as how "ripe" the milk is, the length of time (and the temperature at which) the curd is heated, and the number of weeks of curing—affect the flavor and texture of the end product.
As a result, you may find that you have to slightly adjust the techniques involved to suit your own tastes and kitchen conditions. To begin making cheese, all you need besides milk is a floating dairy thermometer (most any immersible type will do), two enameled containers (one of which can "nest" inside the other), rennet, a long-handled spoon and knife, three or four yards of cheesecloth, a colander, a one-pound package of paraffin, a press something like the one detailed below . . . and an all-abiding appetite for good, flavorful food.
