Peel and core apples and chop, toss in a bowl with lemon juice and set aside.
Stir 250g (8oz) sugar with 4 tablespoons water in heavy based pan till golden.
Add apples and remaining sugar and stir on low heat to dissolve.
Boil 10-15 mins to soften apples and thicken.
Press through sieve with wooden spoon.
Return to pan and boil 1 more minute.
Remove from heat and add brandy.
Ladle into sterilised jars and pop on the lids. Leave overnight to let flavours develop.
Notes
Use Calvados if you have it instead of standard brandy. Or use whisky for a Scottish kick!I've worked out servings at about 1 tablespoon of jam.You can of course use any type of apples for this toffee apple jam, just bear in mind that different types will be sweeter.
