Apple Pie Jam Recipe

Ingredients:

4 c. diced apples (I used Golden Delicious)
2 tbsp. lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
1 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 box powdered pectin
4 c. granulated sugar
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. butter

 

Note: If you are going to make a lot of jam and/or jelly, then you HAVE to try this powdered pectin that you can buy in bulk from Amazon. Six tablespoons of this pectin is the equivalent to one box of Suregel pectin. This is the ONLY way to buy pectin inexpensively if you are going to buy a lot of it (like I do!).
