Ingredients

• 6 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 3 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 packet Liquid pectin

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the apples by peeling, coring, and dicing them into small pieces. Measure 6 cups of diced apples and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the apples and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to release some juice.

Step 3

Place the pot over medium heat and add the butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir gently until the sugar begins to dissolve and the mixture starts to bubble.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture, stirring often, until the apples soften and start to break down. This should take about 20-25 minutes.

Step 5

Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the softened apples to your desired consistency. You can leave it slightly chunky or make it smoother, depending on your preference.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract and the liquid pectin. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly.

Step 7

Remove the pot from the heat and carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.

Step 8

Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal with lids and bands, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing.

Step 9

Let the jars cool completely on a kitchen towel. Check the seals by pressing down on the lids—if they don’t pop, the jars are properly sealed.

Step 10

Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 2-3 weeks.
