Ingredients

  • 12 cups apples
  • 1 cups lemon juice
  • 1 cups apple juice or water
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg and salt

Instructions

  1. Wash, peel, and chop the apples.

  2. Combine all of the ingredients in a large pot.

  3. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and cook until the apples are soft. Purée the apples with an immersion blender* until smooth, and simmer for 6-8 hours, or until reduced, thickened, and a rich reddish brown colour.

  4. Can immediately in sealed jars, or store in containers in the fridge or freezer until use. Use as you would any fruit jam.

Recipe Notes

*If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can process your apples in a food processor or blender before cooking instead.
