Maple Apple Jam

Maple Apple Jam brings together two of my favorite flavors, creating a great treat for everything from toast and pancakes to a scrumptious glaze for pork chops to pork loins.

I make this jam with Pomona’s Pectin which allows me to make it low sugar. This recipe will not work with other powdered pectin. You can order Pomona’s Pectin here.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups diced apples (I used gala apples)
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Pomona's Pectin
  • 1 1/2 tsp calcium water

Instructions
 

  • Before You Begin, prepare calcium water.To do this, combine ½ teaspoon calcium powder (in the small packet in your box of Pomona’s pectin) with ½ cup water in a small, clear jar with a lid. Shake well. Extra calcium water should be stored in the refrigerator for future use.
  • Measure maple syrup into a bowl and mix Pomona's pectin in thoroughly. Set aside
  • Place diced apples, calcium water, sugar , and lemon juice into your pot and heat to a full boil.
  • Bring the apple mixture to a full boil. Add pectin-maple syrup mixture, stirring vigorously for 1-2 minutes to disolve the pectin while the jam comes back up to a boil. Once jam returns to a full boil, remove it from the heat.
  • Ladel into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace
  • Wipe rims of jars, place canning lid and ring on.
  • Fill hot jars to ¼” of top. Wipe rims clean. Screw on 2-piece lids. Put filled jars in boiling water to cover. Boiling water bath or steam canner for 10 minutes (add 1 minute more for every 1,000 ft. above sea level). Remove from water. Let jars cool.
