apples and spices jam

Autumn is coming...Apples are beautiful ...I love making jam.Want my recipe?
you need:
3kg apples
the juice of 2 lemons
2 vanilla beans
2 teaspoons of powdered cinnamon
6 cloves
850gr sugar per kg of fruit

peel the apples, cut them in quarters, take off the seeds, cut in slices, stir in lemon juice and weight.
measure the sugar, 850gr per kg of apples
put the sugar in a bassin with 250gr water per kg of fruit, allow to warm on a low temperature, until the syrup gets sligthly gold.
put the apples in that syrup, add vanilla, cinnamon and cloves.
cook gently for about 75 minutes until you can see through the slices of apples
put in jars and cover immediately.
*********************************
you may use it as an ordinary jam on bread, buns, pancakes, with yoghurt...or cover the pastry of your tart before putting the other apples on top.
it's also delicious with vanilla ice cream
last year I added pieces of candied orange skin...and a glass of whisky, for adults only but so nice.
It may be a beautiful Christmas present.
