APPLE JAM (APPLE PIE IN A JAR)



Apple Jam (Apple Pie in a Jar) image

This is apple jam - something you can't seem to buy - spiced to resemble the taste of most apple pies. Usually there is enough pectin in the apples to make it jell without adding anything. You can use 1 package of pectin (such as SureJel®), if desired.

Time 2h20m

Yield 80

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and finely chopped
4 cups white sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
1 large lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
⅛ teaspoon allspice
5 half-pint canning jars with lids and rings

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.

APPLE PIE IN A JAR

This is delicious. It can be eaten straight out of the jar, baked in a pie shell, served over ice cream, etc. It is tricky to NOT make a mess, but it is so worth the stickiness!

7 quarts apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (fifty medium apples, or approximately a 3 gallon pail full)
4 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
10 cups water
3 tablespoons lemon juice
lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat 7 1 quart jars while peeling the apples, I pour lemon juice on them to keep them from browning. Once the apples are peeled mix the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and water in a large kettle. Heat this over high heat, stirring almost constantly. Bring to a boil, remove the jars from the boiling water and fill with the raw apples. When the sauce is ready it will be clear and thick. Pour the sauce over the apples in the jars, using a knife around the edges to release air bubbles. Fill to 3/4 of an inch from the top. Wipe the rims, place lids on jars, boil in a boiling water bath for twenty minutes. Sometimes they do ooze after being removed from the heat, these I put in the refrigerator and they are eaten first!

Valuable Tips When Making Apple Pie in a Jar Recipes

Apple pie in a jar is a delicious way to enjoy the classic dessert in a convenient, on-the-go format. These desserts are perfect for picnics, lunchboxes, or just as a fun twist on the traditional apple pie. However, making apple pie in a jar comes with its own set of challenges. Here are some valuable tips to keep in mind when making this recipe:
1. Use high-quality ingredients
The key to making any great dessert is to start with great ingredients. Use fresh, high-quality apples, and make sure to choose firm, tart apples, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These apples hold their shape well when baked and have a good balance of sweetness and tartness. Additionally, choose high-quality vanilla extract, cinnamon, and other spices to give your recipe the best possible flavor.
2. Choose the right jars
When making apple pie in a jar, it's important to choose the right jars. Mason jars are the most commonly used, and they work well because they can withstand high temperatures in the oven. However, you can also use other types of jars, like Weck jars or Kilner jars. Just make sure that the jars you choose are oven-safe and can withstand high temperatures.
3. Pre-cook the apples
To ensure that the apples cook evenly in the jar, it's important to pre-cook them. You can sauté the apples for a few minutes on the stove with butter, sugar, cinnamon, and other spices. This will also help release some of the moisture from the apples, which will prevent the filling from becoming too runny.
4. Make the crust from scratch
While you can use pre-made pie crust for this recipe, making the crust from scratch is always better. Homemade pie crust is flakier and has a better flavor than store-bought crust. Plus, making your own crust is easier than you might think! All you need is flour, butter, salt, sugar, and ice water.
5. Don't overfill the jars
One of the biggest mistakes people make when making apple pie in a jar is overfilling the jars. Too much filling will cause the crust to burst or the pie to overflow when baking. As a general rule, fill the jars about two-thirds of the way full with the apple filling. This will leave enough room for the crust to expand without breaking.
6. Crimp the edges of the crust
To prevent the crust from breaking when baked, it's important to crimp the edges of the crust. Use your fingers or a fork to press the crust against the side of the jar, creating a seal between the crust and the jar. This will help prevent the filling from leaking out of the jar and make it easier to remove the pie from the jar once it's baked.
7. Make air vents in the crust
To allow steam to escape from the pies while they bake, it's important to make air vents in the crust. You can do this by using a sharp knife to cut a few small slits in the top of the crust before baking. Alternatively, you can use a decorative pie crust cutter to create a design on top of the crust that also doubles as an air vent.
8. Follow the baking directions carefully
When baking apple pie in a jar, it's important to follow the baking directions carefully. Don't overbake the pies, as this will make the crust too dark and the filling too dry. Additionally, make sure to cool the pies completely before serving. This will help the filling set up and make it easier to eat the pie out of the jar.
9. Experiment with different fillings
While apple pie in a jar is delicious, you can also experiment with other fillings. Try using different fruits, like pears or peaches, or adding nuts, like pecans or walnuts, to the filling. You can also add a crumble or streusel topping to the pies for added texture and flavor.
10. Store the pies properly
Apple pie in a jar can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days. However, it's important to store the pies properly to ensure that they stay fresh. Keep the pies in an airtight container or cover them tightly with plastic wrap. When you're ready to eat the pies, simply remove them from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion

Apple pie in a jar is a fun and delicious way to enjoy this classic dessert. By following these valuable tips, you can make the perfect apple pie in a jar that's sure to impress your friends and family. From choosing the right ingredients to crimping the crust, every step in the process is important for creating the best possible outcome. So, get creative, and have fun experimenting with different flavors and combinations.
