Ingredients

  • 6 cups Apples, Peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 3 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 3/4 ounces Powdered Pectin
  • 1/2 cup Dried Cranberries
  • 1/4 cup Golden Raisins
  • 4 ounces Good Quality Rum

Directions

  1. In a large sauce pan, combine the apples, water, lemon juice, and spices. Cook until the apples are softened, 5-10 minutes.
  2. Prepare your canning supplies. Bring the temperature of the glass jars up by processing them in hot water for several minutes, and heat a few cups of water in a small saucepan for the lids.
  3. Stir in the pectin until dissolved. Bring back to a boil, and then add in the sugar all at once. Stir in the cranberries and rum. Boil hard for a minute longer.
  4. Skim off any foam and ladle the hot jam into the hot jars, leaving 1/4″ headspace.
  5. Place the lids and bands on top, screwing on the bands just until fingertip-tight. Place the full jars back into the boiling water and process 10 minutes.
  6. Remove from the water and place the jars on a towel. Let the jars cool. The seals should suck down (you should hear a popping noise as they do). Makes 6 eight-ounce jars.
