Ingredients




6 cups peeled and finely diced apples (we used Pink Lady)
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon butter
1 package powdered fruit pectin
3 cups granulated sugar
2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Preparation

1 Mix apples, water, and butter in large pot. Cook over low heat, stirring, until apples are soft (but not mushy). 2 Stir in pectin. Bring to a full boil, stirring constantly. 3 Add sugars, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Return to a rolling boil and continue to boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute or until sugars are dissolved. 4 Pour into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rims of jars with damp cloth; screw on clean lids and rims. 5 Water bath for 10 minutes, making adjustments for your specific altitude. Makes 7 half-pints.
