Apple Jam (Apple Pie in a Jar) Recipe

Ingredients

6 Granny Smith apples - peeled

cored

and finely chopped

4 cups white sugar

½ cup light brown sugar

1 large lemon

zested and juiced

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

⅛ teaspoon allspice

5 half-pint canning jars with lids and rings

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Combine apples white sugar light brown sugar lemon juice lemon zest cinnamon nutmeg cloves and allspice in a pot; bring to a rolling boil. Cook at a boil stirring occasionally until fruit is soft and jam gelling point (220 degrees F (104 degrees C) is reached at least 45 minutes. Put a small amount of jam on a cold plate; freeze for several minutes. If the mixture is gelled it is ready to process in a canner.

Step 2

Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack apple jam into hot sterilized jars filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.

Step 3

Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil cover the pot and process for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface several inches apart until cool. Once cool press the top of each lid with a finger ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool dark area.
