The recipes that I came across for the apple preserves all required either citric acid or when made in the Indian style required stuff like rose essence and food color.I wanted to make apple preserves and did not have any of the ingredients mentioned above at hand.I decided to try the apple preserve in my own way,but just to be safe I tried this in a small quantity.I was surprised at how well this turned out.It turned out to be very tasty and had a beautiful golden color which made me glad I skipped the food color and stuck with just the saffron.I will definitely make this one again.
