I went to Akita Prefecture on various business matters!
Well, it’s snowing everywhere!
It was extremely cold, but extremely beautiful.
There are many specialty products in Akita Prefecture, but here is one I would like to recommend for this season!
Rosemay “Luxury Red Apple Confiture”.
It was purchased at the “A-ERU” souvenir shop at Akita Airport.
Look at this! There are big apples all over the place!
This looks like jam at first glance, but it is a little different from jam.
It’s called “confiture.”
What is “confiture?” How is it different from jam?
I have looked into it! It will be a bit long, but please bear with me.
Confiture” is a dish made by boiling fruits with sugar.
It is derived from a type of French cuisine called “confit,” in which ingredients such as meat, fish, and vegetables are preserved by marinating them in sugar, vinegar, or oil.
It is said that confiture was created for the purpose of “preserving ingredients.
Jam, on the other hand, is an English word meaning “to pack tightly or press into. It is thought that jam may have been created for the purpose of “coagulating fruit juices and other substances.
Confiture is made by first soaking fruit in sugar to leach out the juice. The juice is then boiled down and the pulp is added.
Jam, on the other hand, is thick and dense because it is often cooked down with sugar until the original shape of the fruit is broken down.
The amount of sugar used in confiture is generally around 20% of the weight of the fruit. Since less sugar is used than in jams, the sweetness is moderate and the freshness of the fruit can be strongly felt.
On the other hand, when making jam, basically the same amount of sugar is used as the weight of the fruit. The result is a flavor with a strong sweetness.

I see! You mean that confiture is more silky than jam, and you can taste the pulpiness of the fruit more.
Now that you know the difference between confiture and jam, let’s have it!
The apples are littered with apples. The apples are not too soft, and the texture is fresh.
I think it is most luxurious to eat it as it is.
When eaten on baked bread, it is like apple pie!
It is also good on unsweetened yogurt!
The only ingredients are “red apple, fructose, lemon juice, and honey!
No preservatives, acidifiers, pectin, or other additives are used.
This luxurious confiture can only be enjoyed during the winter season.
