Step by step
Step 1
Sort the chokeberries and wash under running water using a colander.
Step 2
Place the berries in a heavy-bottomed pot or a big Dutch oven, add 1500g sugar and 500ml water.
Set over heat, mix to combine.
Step 3
When it comes to the boil, turn heat to low and let simmer for 20-30 minutes, stir occasionally.
Step 4
After 20-30 minutes, pour in the juice from 2 lemons, mix and let simmer for another 10 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, wash, core and peel the apples, then cut into small cubes.
If you have many wormy apples, use a bit more than 1 kilo, even 1.5 kilos of whole apples.
Step 6
Now mix the diced apples into the jam.
Step 7
Stir to combine and boil for about another 30-40 minutes.
Step 8
The boiling time may vary somewhat, you can look at the texture/colour of the apples - see the picture, they become darker in colour and slightly candied.
Step 9
Add the walnuts cut into chunks with a knife.
Step 10
Boil for 20 more minutes, notice what they look like now.
Step 11
And notice what they look like after boiling - even the walnuts will change their colour and turn to purple.
Now the jam is ready and you can ladle it into jars, cleaned and dried in advance.
Step 12
So, pour the jam into jars and seal.
Step 13
Set on the table and let cool completely. It might be a bit runny at first, but after it cools down, it becomes jelly-like and denser in texture.
It's so delicious and it can be spread on bread, on biscuits, combined with yogurt, with porrigde etc.
Enjoy!
