Although I've been canning for years, I've never found a good apple jam recipe, so I created this one. My husband of 41 years and I love this jam so much because it tastes just like apple pie…without the crust! —Audrey Godell, Stanton, Michigan

A little putzy but well worth the time spent making it! Haven't tried it yet but it looks very nice in the jars and would make great gifts!

quick question when I am done cooking the apples do I leave the water in the pot when returning it to the pan???

Actually I have never made this recipe but definitely want to try it. It sounds wonderful. What I am wondering if it I can just freeze it instead of sealing in a hot bath?

The apples I used were small, so I used a scale & weighed out 2 lbs, which ended up being around 8 or 9 apples. Followed the recipe exactly, but didn't use the mace. I ended up with exactly 6 half pints. This jam is so tasty & it really does taste like apple pie! Will make a great Christmas gift!

I make jam to sell to raise money for my Susan G Komen 3day for the Cure so I decided to try this recipe for the holidays and it is AWESOME! I made it with liquid pectin like it says and it is perfect! I am not sure why the one person above couldn't get it right but this is easy and I wouldn't change a thing!

I made two batches. In both batches I had to nearly double the amount of apples to get to the 4 cups after cooking. The first batch turned out great, but on the second batch, I realized the recipe calls for liquid pectin. The first time I used the powder and it turned out great, but I do not want to make it that way as I want to ensure the sugar and other ratios are correct for best canning practies...even though food born illnesses are rare with sugared items, I'm not risking it. So the second time I used the liquid pectin and it did not set even after a few weeks. I'm an avid cook and canner and am searching online for a better recipe for this.
