Ingredients
  

  • 4 c apples, peeled, sliced and cored (for this recipe, I use sweet, "eating" apples, like Fuji, Macintosh, Jonathan, Red Delicious, etc.)
  • 1 c water
  • 1 Tb bottled lemon juice
  • 1.75 ounce powdered pectin
  • 4 c sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced (seeds removed)

Instructions
 

  • Combine the apples, water and lemon juice in a large pot.
  • Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Whisk in the powdered pectin.
  • Bring the mixture back to a boil.
  • Add in the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon slices.
  • Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, and boil for 1 minute – stirring constantly.
  • Remove it from the heat and ladle into prepared half pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space.
  • Wipe the jar rims with a damp rag, dipped in white vinegar.
  • Close the jars with lids and rings and place the jars in your canner.
  • Process the jars in a water bath canner for 10 minutes. (Adjust for elevation.)
  • Allow to cool in a draft-free location for 12-24 hours.
  • Test the seals, remove the rings, wiped down the jars, label and store in your pantry.

  1. This recipe looks delicious! I have a 50 lb bag of Granny Smith to preserve. Will this recipe work for those? I am a newbie to canning.
    What is the tool you are using to measure the head space?

    Thanks!

  2. Hello, what an AWESOME recipe! Thanks a great deal. Quick question. Will it be ok to keep the apple preserves unrefrigerated? If so, approximately what’s the shelf life…as if they’d stay there over a week.
