Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 4 cups Granulated Sugar
- 0.25 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground Cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the diced apples, sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the apples soften and release their juices, about 15-20 minutes. The mixture will start to thicken.
- Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for another 20-25 minutes, or until the jam reaches your desired consistency. To test, place a small amount on a chilled plate; it should wrinkle when you push it with your finger.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and combined.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the rims, place lids and rings on the jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
