Apple Jam
On Rosh Hashanah we eat apples and honey to symbolize our wish for a sweet new year. This is my mother's traditional apple jam for the holiday, which we eat every year.

- Put the grated apples, sugar, vanilla sugar, and water in a pot over medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, then add the lemon juice.
- Check consistency of the jam, by pouring a bit of the mixture on a cold plate. The jam should not be too fluid and not too strong. It is ready when it just stays still on the plate.
