Wash apples well and grate dry. Cut out the core with an apple corer. Place apples on a fat pan. Mix cinnamon and cloves and sprinkle over them. In a hot oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: see
manufacturer) fry for about 30 minutes. 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, place the almonds on the baking tray. Place the apple tray on a cake rack and let it cool down for about 20 minutes.
Carefully peel the skin off the apples. Remove the fruit flesh, resulting juice and almonds from the fat pan with a dough scraper. Weigh out exactly 1 kg of apple flesh (use the rest for other purposes) and place it in a wide, high saucepan.
Add lemon juice and jam sugar and mix well. Bring everything to the boil while stirring and continue to boil for about 6 minutes while stirring (make a gelling test). Immediately pour into prepared twist-off glasses, close well and let cool upside down.
Lasts for about 6 months.
