Equipment

fruit juicer
Spatula
strainer
Hard Anodized pot

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups apple juice ( I used three varieties of apple. Ginger gold, Paula red, Gala )
  • 5 cups sugar
  • 3 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Wash the apple and cut it into pieces.
  • Extract apple juice with a fruit juicer. I used 2 ½ kg of apples and extracted nearly 10 cups of apple juice. For this recipe, I use only 5 cups of apple syrup.
  • If you make juice in a juicer, you know frothy foam forms on the top. Wait for five minutes for the foam to settle. Then scoop the foam with a serving ladel as shown in the picture.
  • Again wait for a few more minutes to get a clear juice. So strain it with a double-meshed strainer or cheesecloth to get crystal-clear apple juice.
  • The apple juice is now clear and ready to make syrup.
  • In a non-stick pan, pour the apple juice and sugar and stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved on low medium heat.
  • Stir it occasionally with a spatula. Patience is so important as it takes an hour to reduce considerably.
  • The syrup is considerably thick. Add in lemon/lime juice.
  • The syrup is considerably thick. It is time to check the consistency.
  • Pop a plate in the freezer for 5 minutes. Add a little apple syrup onto the cold plate and leave it for a few seconds. Then run a finger through the syrup and see if it forms a line and doesn't smudge. Then the syrup is ready.
  • Let the apple syrup cool completely.
  • Transfer the apple syrup to a sterilized jar. Enjoy the apple syrup with pancakes, waffles, south-Indian breakfast idli, dosa, etc. And also you can use as a topping for desserts.

Notes

You can swap brown sugar or jaggery for white sugar. The colour and the caramel taste in the syrup will differ. And, if you do not have fresh lemon/lime juice, you can use store-bought citric acid crystals or bottled lemon juice.
