Ginger jam

Autumn has really come now, so I'd like to share something sweet, warm and spicy )
This kind of jam will do very well for the season. It's not only tasty but prevents season flu and gives extra energy to live your full life on windy and rainy days. But you need to have some patience because this jam can fairly be called "slow food": the whole process of making is 5-6 days.

So you need:

fresh ginger - 1 cup
apples - 1 cup
sugar - 1 - 1 1/2 cup 

Peel and dice ginger. Place it into a bowl of water for 2-3 days and change the water every day - to remove bitterness. You may add orange skin into the bowl.

Peel and chop apples (or process in a blender), add infused ginger (and orange skins if you took them), place all ingridients in a sausepan, add sugar. Bring to a boil and keep on the simmer for few minutes untis sugar melts. Then turn off the cooker and leave the mixture till the next day. The next day boil it again and keep on the simmer for 5 minutes. Repeat for 2 more days. 

You've got an unusual dessert for your family and a good present for anyone.
