Apple Murabba (Saib Ka Murabba) Recipe: 500g

Apple Murabba is a delicious and nutritious sweet preserve made from fresh apples, sugar, and aromatic spices. This traditional recipe not only enhances the flavour of apples but also offers multiple health benefits, including improved digestion and boosted immunity.

Ingredients:

• 500g apples (firm and fresh)
• 500g sugar
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2-3 green cardamoms (crushed)
• 1-inch cinnamon stick (optional)
• 4-5 saffron strands (optional)
• ½ tsp black salt (optional, for flavor)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the apples:

   • Wash and peel the apples. Cut them into halves or quarters, removing the seeds.
   • Prick the apples with a fork to help them absorb the syrup.

2. Make the sugar syrup:

   • In a deep pan, add sugar and water. Heat on medium flame until the sugar dissolves completely.
   • Add crushed cardamoms, cinnamon, and saffron for enhanced flavour.

3. Cook the apples:

   • Add the prepared apples to the sugar syrup and let them cook on low heat.
   • Stir occasionally and allow the apples to absorb the syrup while softening.

4. Check the consistency:

   • Cook until the syrup thickens to a one-string consistency and the apples turn glossy and translucent.
   • Add lemon juice and mix well to prevent crystallisation.

5. Final Touch & Storage:

   • Let the murabba cool completely.
   • Store in a clean, airtight glass jar. It stays fresh for weeks when refrigerated.

Serving Suggestions:

• Enjoy as a healthy sweet treat.
• Serve with roti or paratha for a traditional breakfast.
