Caramel Apple Jam Recipe

Caramel Apple Jam Recipe Rating 4

I created this recipe one year when I had excess apples. The brown sugar gives the jam a wonderful caramel taste. I'm a retired master baker and cook who enjoys preparing Southern dishes for my wife of 48 years, two sons and five grandchildren.

Very delicious but I didn't think it tastes much like caramel apples. More like apple pie. This jam makes great gifts.

I don't like my jams chunky so i used a hand blender to make it creamy. This recipe is wonderful but very sweet
