Ingredients
- 700 g Apple, about 4 cups of sliced apples
- 300 g Lemon, about 1.5 cups sliced lemons
- 1000 g Sugar, about 5 1/2 cups
- 1 tbsp Baking soda
Instructions
- Clean the fruit! The best way to clean fruit is in water and baking soda. Sprinkle 1 tbsp baking soda over the fruit, then add water and let it soak for about 15 minutes.
- Rinse under running water then pat dry with paper towels.
- Start by cutting the lemons first, because the apples will start to oxidize quickly. Slice the lemons into thin rounds, then remove the seeds using a toothpick.
- Next cut the apples- it really does not matter much what shape you cut them into. Just be sure to slice them 1/4 inch thin or less, and remove the core. Try to work quickly (and safely) because the apples will start to oxidize if left out too long.
- In a large bowl, combine the apples and lemons, then toss in about 1/4 of the sugar.
- In a sterilized glass jar, add a little bit of the apples and lemons in at a time, alternating with layers of sugar in-between. Make sure you have enough sugar to adequately cover the top layer. Cover and keep in a cool, dark spot.
