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.

I doubled the apples and spices, halved the water and sugar, used half brown sugar, really tasty, may even reduce sugar to 1/4 next time.

Just finished making this recipe for the second time. I cut the sugar to 3 1/2 cups as it was too sweet for my taste. My husband loves it over pancakes. My supply is dwindling, I just hope I will have enough for Christmas gifts. From now on I plan to have plenty on hand for giving. It's a keeper for years to come TOH, you're the best.

This was really good. Since I have kids though, I made some adjustments. I added an entire can of apple juice concentrate, no sugar, and a can of apple sauce. I tastes just like apple pie filling. I am going to be making this as gifts for the holidays.

i made this recipe one day and brought the jam with me to a native american gathering. It recieved RAVE reviews. I only added 1/2 the sugar it called for. Everyone wants the recipe. Thanks to the original maker and to the taste of home publishers for posting this recipe. :-)

I actually haven't made it yet but, I'm sure after reading all the good reviews I will want to make it again. I am just wondering like some of the others if it can be made like a freezer jam. I can hardly wait to try it. Thank you for inventing and sharing this recipe.

I was wondering if jars can be sealed by turning them upside down instead of using the water canner,

This is delicious! It is good on toast to pork chops! The only thing I would not do again is make it in an iron dutch oven. It has a hint of the minerals of the pot. Still great though. Am going to make it again and give as Christmas presents.

I've made this 2 years in a row and given it for holiday gifts. Everyone loves it. I made the mistake of leaving the water in after cooking the apples and even though it was more like a sauce it's still wonderful as a topping or addition to fat free plain yogurt.
