Crabapple Jam
Crabapple Jam
5 pounds crabapples
water (enough to just cover crabapples, about 7 cups)
10 C sugar
1 T cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 3/4 ounces dry pectin
Directions:
Wash apples & remove stems. Cook apples & water until apples are soft (they will start splitting and that's ok). Run apples & water through an electric juicer. Discard pulp. Reserve juice mixture (I had about 10 cups). Stir juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, & pectin together over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and add sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil for a minute. Remove from heat & skim foam from top. Pour into hot sterilized jars, seal & process in a hot bath for 10 minutes.
