CINNAMON APPLE PIE JAM

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, combine the apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
• After a while, the apples will start to release their juices. When they do, use a glass measuring cup like this one to measure out 1/4 cup of juices. Sprinkle the gelatin over the juices and let it sit to bloom.
• Meanwhile, let the apples continue to cook until they become soft and the juices have mostly evaporated. Stir often to prevent burning.
• When there's very little juice left in the pot, remove the apples from the heat. Whisk the gelatin in the measuring cup with the liquid, and then pour the liquid into the apple mixture. Stir well.
• Distribute between pint-sized jars like these and let the apple jam cool completely before storing in the freezer.

APPLE JAM (APPLE PIE IN A JAR)

Steps:

• Combine apples, white sugar, light brown sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice in a pot; bring to a rolling boil. Cook at a boil, stirring occasionally, until fruit is soft and jam gelling point (220 degrees F (104 degrees C) is reached, at least 45 minutes. Put a small amount of jam on a cold plate; freeze for several minutes. If the mixture is gelled, it is ready to process in a canner.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack apple jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
