Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups finely diced peeled apples (about 4 medium-large Honey Crisp apples)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp butter
- 1 package Sure-Jell (powdered fruit pectin)
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (heaping)
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Cook the Apples: In a large stockpot, combine the diced apples, water, and butter. Cook and stir over low heat until the apples are tender (about 10 minutes).
- Add Pectin: Stir in the pectin and bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
- Add Sugars and Spices: Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Return to a rolling boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Prepare Jars: Remove from heat and skim off any foam. Carefully ladle the hot mixture into hot half-pint or pint jars, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles, wipe rims, and adjust lids.
- Process Jars: Process jars for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.
- Cool and Store: After processing, twist jars gently from side to side while cooling (after the lid has sealed) to evenly distribute apple pieces throughout the jam.
Notes
- Ensure your jars are sterilized before filling with jam.
- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg to taste if you prefer a stronger spice flavor.
