Country Apple Jam

Ingredients

6 cups peeled and finely diced apples (we used Pink Lady)

1/2 cup water

1/2 teaspoon butter

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Mix apples, water, and butter in large pot. Cook over low heat, stirring, until apples are soft (but not mushy).

Stir in pectin. Bring to a full boil, stirring constantly.

Add sugars, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Return to a rolling boil and continue to boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute or until sugars are dissolved.

Pour into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rims of jars with damp cloth; screw on clean lids and rims.

Water bath for 10 minutes, making adjustments for your specific altitude. Makes 7 half-pints.
