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

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • In a Dutch oven, combine apples and water. Cover and cook slowly until tender. Measure 4-1/2 cups apples; return to the pan. (Save remaining apple mixture for another use or discard.)
  • Add sugar and butter to pan; bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Quickly stir in pectin; return to a full rolling boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.

We made 6 batches of this jam. Excellent.

Was easy to make and my husband loved it, especially on ice cream.

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.

We have made two batches of this jam in the last few days. Yummy! Worth the time and effort. Left out the mace.

Wonderful recipe. We love it. We have a large tree of Grimes Golden Apples to work up. Thanks for the recipe. WV.

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,
