APPLE PIE JAM
Although I've been canning for years, I've never found a good apple pie jam recipe, so I created this one. My husband of 41 years and I love this jam so much because it tastes just like apple pie...without the crust! -Audrey Godell, Stanton, Michigan

Steps:
- Simmer water, sugar, cinnamon stick, allspice, and half of cranberries (about 5 1/2 cups) in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberries just start to pop, about 5 minutes. Add half of remaining cranberries (about 3 cups) and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and core apples, then cut into 1/4-inch dice. Add to cranberry mixture along with walnuts and remaining cranberries, then simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in Calvados and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool to warm or room temperature. Discard cinnamon stick.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of sweet and tart apples. Some good options include Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, and Braeburn.
- Use fresh walnuts: Fresh walnuts will give your conserve the best flavor. If you only have access to pre-packaged walnuts, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly browned.
- Don't overcook the conserve: The key to a good conserve is to cook it until it has thickened, but not so long that it becomes too thick and jammy. The conserve should be thick enough to spread, but still have a bit of a chunky texture.
- Canning the conserve: If you want to can the conserve for long-term storage, follow the instructions in the recipe carefully. Canning is a safe and effective way to preserve food, but it is important to do it correctly to prevent spoilage.
- Storing the conserve: Once the conserve is cooked, it can be stored in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It can also be frozen for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Apple walnut maple conserve is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It can be spread on toast, crackers, or pancakes, or used as a filling for pies and tarts. It can also be added to yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream for a sweet and nutty flavor. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is a great way to enjoy the flavors of fall all year long.
