Making Apple Pie Jam

Peel and core the apples.

Finely chop them and add the pieces of apple to a large stainless steel pan.

Add the lemon juice and apple juice to the pan and bring it to the boil.

Once the apples have softened a little add the pectin to the pan.

Add the sugar and keep on boiling the mixture.

You can mash the apples a bit with a potato masher or use a stick blender for a very fine jam. It really depends on how chunky you’d like your finished jam to be.

Add the raisins the pan and give them a good stir.

Remove the pan from the heat.

Add the spices and stir them in.

Pour the jam mixture into clean jam jars leaving about a centimetre of head space.

Seal the jam jars by applying the lids until finger tight.

Put the jam jars into a hot water bath canner at 100 degrees centigrade.

Boil for 10 minutes.

My electric hot water bath canner has broken down – just in time for canning season! So instead I’m using a large pan full of water and keeping that at boiling for 10 minutes. My jars have sealed nicely, although my electric canner is much easier to use because I didn’t have to watch or time it.
