How to Make Apple Maple Jam
- Prepare apples: Peel, core, and chop 6 medium apples into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Combine ingredients: In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped apples, maple syrup, lemon juice, liquid pectin, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
- Bring to a boil: Stir well and bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Boil rapidly: Once boiling, increase the heat to high and boil rapidly for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. The mixture will thicken significantly.
- Remove from heat and skim: Remove from the heat and skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Fill jars: Ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace at the top.
- Process in water bath: Wipe the jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes.
- Cool and check seals: Remove jars from the canner and let them cool completely. Check to ensure the lids have sealed properly (they should not flex when pressed).
- Enjoy! Your delicious Apple Maple Jam is ready to be enjoyed. Store in a cool, dark place.
