Ingredients
Cooked Apple Pulp
6 cups (prepared from pressed apples)
Fruit Pectin
1.75 ounces (powdered form)
Granulated Sugar
2 cups (measured)
Brown Sugar
2 cups (packed tightly)
Ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Start by preparing your canning equipment. Fill your canning pot with water and bring it to a boil, ensuring that the rack is tucked inside. In a smaller pot, boil the lids to sterilize them, then remove and allow them to dry on a clean paper towel using tongs.
2
In a large pot, combine the prepared apple pulp and sprinkle in the fruit pectin. Stir well and bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil. If foaming occurs, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of butter to reduce it.
3
While waiting for the apple mixture to boil, measure out both the granulated sugar and brown sugar, along with the cinnamon. Once the apple pulp and pectin mixture reaches a boil, add all the sugars and cinnamon at once.
4
Return the mixture to a rolling boil and keep it boiling for exactly one minute to ensure proper setting.
5
Remove the pot from heat as soon as the minute is up. Immediately ladle the hot mixture into clean, sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Place sterilized lids on each jar and screw on the bands until they are fingertip-tight.
6
Lower the filled jars onto the rack in your canning pot carefully. Cover the pot and process the jars in boiling water for 10 minutes to ensure they are sealed properly.
