Ingredients
- 2 Honeycrisp apples rinsed, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 Granny Smith apple rinsed, peeled, cored, a chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- Juice of one medium lemon
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
Instructions
- Add chopped apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cardamom to a medium saucepan and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- After about 10 minutes, mash some of the apples against the pot with a wooden spoon for a chunky jam, or mash all of the apples with a potato masher for a less chunky jam. Continue to cook the jam for 10-15 more minutes until it has thickened.
- Once the jam has thickened and has reached a slow boil with small, tight bubbles, remove the pan from the heat and allow the jam to cool slightly. Spoon the jam into clean jars and seal tightly. Allow the jam to cool completely before transferring it to the refrigerator.
Notes
- You may grate your apples using a handheld cheese grater or food processor instead of chopping them for a smoother jam.
- Feel free to adjust the amout of sugar in this apple jam to your liking.
- Test your jam to see if it's done by placing a small amount of jam onto a metal spoon that has been placed in the freezer for 10 minutes. Swipe your finger through the jam on the frozen spoon. If there is a clear line through the jam that does not fill in, it is ready to be cooled and stored.
- Apple jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
