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!).

Canning Instructions
Pour the jam into the hot sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. You can easily measure the head space with this inexpensive canning funnel.
Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean damp rag and place the lids and rings on the jars.
Process the jars in the boiling water canner
Remove the jars from the canner and place them on a towel on the counter to cool for 24 hours. Store in a dark pantry for a year or more. If any of the jars don’t seal, you can put them in the refrigerator right away and eat them within a couple of weeks.
