Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 medium apples (about 3 pounds), peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces to ensure even cooking and a smooth jam texture.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a large saucepan, add the chopped apples, sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Cook the mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for about 40-50 minutes or until the apples break down and the mixture thickens to a jammy consistency.
  4. Test for set: To check if the jam is ready, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate and run your finger through it. If it wrinkles and holds its shape, the jam is set.
  5. Cool and store: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool slightly. Transfer to sterilized jars, seal tightly, and refrigerate. The jam will continue to thicken as it cools.

Notes

  • Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor balance.
  • Stir frequently during cooking to avoid burning the jam on the bottom of the pan.
  • This jam keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or can be frozen for longer storage.
  • For a smoother texture, mash the apples further with a potato masher or use a food processor before cooking.
