APPLE OR PEAR GINGER JAM
Old Victorian recipe from my grandmother. It works well with pears too if you get a bumper crop. Original was in imperial measure. Ginger can vary in intensity so taste and try before adding. Use as a tangy jam or in tartlets.

Steps:
- Use a trivet under the pot.
- Stew the apples gently in 10 fl.oz. water until applesauce consistency (I mash with potato masher).

- Weigh,rough chop the ginger and add to apples.
