Quick and Simple Apple Jam Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 cups tart apples (peeled, cored, and chopped, about 2 pounds)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (or adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon liquid pectin
Instructions:
- Prepare the Apples: In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Simmer and Add Pectin: Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are softened and the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in the liquid pectin and bring back to a boil.
- Boil and Can: Boil for 1 more minute, stirring constantly (or until the mixture reaches 220°F/104°C). Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
- Jar and Process: Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal the jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Ensure the jars are fully submerged during processing.
Tips:
- Choose Tart Apples: Tart apples like Granny Smith have a higher pectin content, which helps the jam set.
- Test for Set: To check for proper setting, place a spoonful of hot jam on a cold plate. Let it cool for a few seconds, then push the edge with your finger. If it wrinkles and doesn’t flood back, it’s ready.
- Adjust Sugar: You can adjust the sugar to your preference, but be aware that reducing sugar too much may affect the setting of the jam.
- Add Spices: For extra flavour, consider adding cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves.
- Canning: Canning is essential for long-term storage. Follow all instructions carefully to ensure food safety.
