How to Make Caramel Apple Jam
- Peel, core, and chop 2 pounds of apples (about 6 medium).
- Combine the chopped apples, 1 cup of water, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a large saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are very soft.
- Press the cooked apples through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the skins and cores (or substitute 5 cups of applesauce).
- Return the sieved apples (or applesauce) to the saucepan.
- Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Stir in 1/4 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade).
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the jam has thickened to the desired consistency (it should sheet off a spoon).
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims clean, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
- Let cool completely. Check seals; store in a cool, dark place.
