How to Make Apple Jam

  1. Peel, core, and chop 6 pounds of apples.
  2. In a blender, combine the chopped apples with 1/2 cup of water. Puree in batches until smooth.
  3. Measure 5 cups of apple puree and pour into a large stainless steel or enamel pot.
  4. Add 5 cups of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, and the juice of 1 lemon.
  5. Place the pot over high heat, stirring constantly until the mixture reaches a full rolling boil.
  6. Continue to boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  7. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 pouch (1 1/4 ounces) of liquid pectin. Skim off any foam from the surface.
  8. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace at the top.
  9. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet. Adjust processing time for higher altitudes according to your canning guide.
