Vickys Toffee Apple Jam, GF DF EF SF NF

Toss the apples in the lemon juice

Add half the sugar to a heavy based pan with the 4 tbsp water and melt over a low heat until dissolved and turning golden

Add in the chopped apples - the sugar will clump due to the change in temperature but it'll melt down again so don't panic!

Add the rest of the sugar, again stirring until dissolved

Turn the heat up and let boil for 15 minutes until the apples are super soft

Take off the heat and use a potato masher to break the mixture down until it's smoother

Return to the heat and boil 1 more minute then take back off the heat and stir in the Brandy

Spoon into sterilised jars and seal

Let sit overnight before enjoying
