I wanted to share this with you all today. It is so yummy I have ate half a jar already! We did 3 batches and it is easy jam and very forgiving. All set fine and all jars sealed. It makes 6 jelly jars of jam per batch. We are going to use it for Christmas presents in baskets this year. I am not fond of jellys because it has to be just perfect - this jam allowed me to check over homework and do laundry while it was heating.
I put the lemon juice on the apples as I was cutting them - I am a bit slow and it kept them from turning brown.
APPLE PIE JAM
4 cups tart apples, peeled and finely chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
4 cups sugar
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 box pectin
1/2 teaspoon butter
Add water to chopped apples to measure 4 cups.(This is NOT 4 cups each, but water placed on top of the diced apples to come up to the 4 cup mark.) Place apples and water into large, heavy saucepan. Stir in lemon juice, cinnamon and allspice.
Measure sugars. Stir pectin into fruit. Add butter. Bring mixture to full rolling boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Quickly stir in both sugars. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
Ladle quickly into hot, clean jars, leaving 1/4" headspace. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands on finger tight. Process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes
