Fructose is usually sweet enough if you use ripe and aromatic fruit for this jam.
Apples contain pectin in their skin, a natural fiber normally found in preserving sugar that causes jams to set.
Thanks to the pectin, the jam does not run off the bread.
And that's why it's also important not to peel the apples.
In order for the pectin to develop its full strength, a certain acidity is required, which is usually provided by lemon juice or citric acid.
In this recipe, the oranges do it.
For the simple orange and apple jam you need six oranges and two sweet apples.
