How to Make Apple Nutmeg Conserve

  1. Combine 6 cups peeled, cored, and chopped apples, 1/2 cup water, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a 6-8 quart kettle.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Stir in 1 package (1 3/4 ounces) liquid pectin.
  5. Increase heat to high and bring the mixture back to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
  6. Add 7 cups granulated sugar and 1 cup raisins. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  7. Continue to boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  9. Carefully ladle the hot conserve into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  10. Clean the jar rims, ensuring no conserve residue remains. Affix lids and tighten rings.
  11. Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes (adjust time based on altitude; check your canning guide for precise timing).
  12. Remove jars and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Check for seals – lids should be concave.
