Ingredients
8 cups peeled and diced Granny Smith apples (about 6 apples)
2 cups organic apple juice
1 small lemon, zest and juice
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Pinch of salt
3 tbsp pectin
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground cardamom
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
3 cups white granulated sugar
Instructions
Cook Apples:
In a large pot, combine diced apples, apple juice, lemon zest and juice, apple cider vinegar, and salt.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to simmer for 10–12 minutes, until apples are soft.
Add Spices & Pectin:
Stir in cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg. Sprinkle pectin evenly over the mixture and stir to combine.
Boil with Sugar:
Increase heat to high. Once at a full rolling boil, stir in the sugar all at once. Boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Jar the Jam:
Remove from heat. Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch of headspace. Wipe rims, seal, and prepare for water bath.
Process:
Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude). Remove and let sit undisturbed for 24 hours.
Store:
Check seals. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate any unsealed jars and use within 2–4 weeks.
Notes
Less Sugar Option: You may reduce sugar slightly, but this may alter the consistency or shelf life.
Sterilization: Always sterilize jars and lids before canning to ensure a proper seal.
Unsealed Jars: If a jar doesn’t seal, refrigerate and consume promptly.
Use Ideas: Try this jam as a filling for cookies, hand pies, or swirled into Greek yogurt.
