Note

My comments:
In the original recipe, instead of cognac, there was an orange blossom tincture. For me it is exotic, so using the advice of the author I replaced it with cognac. The recipe did not specify the amount of water to pour over the fruit. I poured enough water to cover the fruit.


I don’t know how it would taste with a tincture of orange flowers, but very much even with cognac! Although the husband immediately said that the cognac NEED TO at least twice as much ... But it already tastes and color as they say ...

Duc and I about the same! But the recipe was not invented by me, and therefore all claims to the author please! I took Granny's apples, they are an eyesore all year round on the counters of markets / shops, they are green, juicy, sweet and sour taste. What is there to do? Of course, I understand that it would probably be tastier with Antonovka, but alas and oh ... where are the apricots, and where is Antonovka ...

Thank you Tiny for the new recipe, I will definitely try! And what kind of paste does it look like - can it be smeared like butter, or what? And again - is it possible to reduce sugar and how to store it?

In fact, this is the same confiture, only in the form of fruit puree.

Spreading on bread is easy, that's what it is sandwich, so that you can put her on bread!

It is possible, but it will take longer to boil.
