Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 6 cups peeled, cored, and finely chopped apples (about 6 medium apples)

Sweeteners

  • 4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

Spices & Flavorings

  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Liquids

  • 1 cup apple cider or apple juice

Instructions

  1. Sterilize Jars: Boil the jars and lids to sterilize them thoroughly, then keep them warm until you’re ready to use. This prevents contamination and ensures your jam stays fresh.
  2. Cook Jam: In a large pot, combine the chopped apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt, lemon juice, and apple cider or juice. Stir well to mix all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jam thickens considerably.
  3. Test Doneness: To check if the jam is ready, place a spoonful on a chilled plate. Let it sit for a minute. If the jam gels and wrinkles slightly when pushed with your finger, it’s done. If not, continue to simmer, testing every few minutes.
  4. Jar and Process: Ladle the hot jam into the sterilized jars, leaving about a ¼-inch headspace at the top. Wipe the rims clean to ensure a good seal. Apply the lids, then process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to preserve the jam safely.
  5. Cool and Store: Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely on a towel or rack. Once cool, check the seals to ensure they are secure. Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith or a mix for a balanced flavor and perfect consistency.
  • Ensure jars and lids are properly sterilized to prevent spoilage.
  • Adjust sugar quantities slightly depending on the sweetness of your apples and personal preference.
  • If you want a smoother texture, you can mash the cooked apples slightly before jarring.
  • The jam thickens more as it cools, so avoid overcooking to maintain the right spreadable consistency.
  • Store opened jars in the refrigerator and consume within 3 weeks.
