Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 quarts apples (peeled, cored and sliced - approximately 30 medium sized apples)
  • 5 cups sugar
  • 1 ½ cups Clear Jel
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 7 ½ cups water
  • ¾ cup lemon juice (bottled lemon juice)

Instruction

  • In a large pot, combine sugar, Clear Jel, cinnamon, nutmeg and water.
  • Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens. Stir mixture often to prevent scorching.
  • Add lemon juice and continue cooking for one minute
  • Add apple slices and stir carefully
  • Heat for 3-5 minutes on low until apples are heated through.
  • Remove from heat and fill prepared jars with mixture. Leave at least 1 - 1 1/4 inch headspace in each jar.
  • Use a small spatula to get rid of any air pockets or air bubbles in jars
  • Wipe jars. Place canning lid and ring on jars.
  • Process for 25 minutes (adjust for altitude) in a boiling water bath. When processing time is done, turn off heat and keep jars in the hot water for 5-10 minutes. This will help prevent siphoning.
