LesleyH Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 made this today (after the hawthorn jelly dissapointment) and it is delicious. We have a glut of apples in the garden - definitely worth doing. I halved the amounts and it made over 6 jars worth. It tastes really sweet and strong ginger - really nice. Homemade Apple Jam ingredientsyield 10 lb. 6 lb. cooking (tart) apples 2 pints water Rind and juice of 4 lemons 1 1/2 oz ground ginger (optional) 6 lb. sugar method 1. Peel, core and chop the apples. 2. Tie the peel and core in muslin and put with the apple and water into the preserving pan. 3. Add the finely grated lemon rind and the juice, together with the ginger if used. 4. Cook until pulpy, then squeeze out and discard muslin bag. 5. Stir in the sugar and boil until setting point is reached. 6. Remove from the heat, skim, pot, cover, and label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 that's funny. Its called apple and ginger jam, but the ginger is optional! lol Does sound good though. I love ginger, so much so that when I bought a pot of glace ginger for making ginger biscuits, its mysteriously disappeared . . . . I made some biscuits once from the recipe on the back of a spice jar. I think it was apple, date and walnuts. But they didn't even mention the walnuts in the ingredients of the recipe!
