Ingredients

  • 1 lb tart apple
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 4 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter
  • 1 packet liquid pectin

Method

  • Peel, core and finely chop enough apples to get 2 cups.
  • Place all ingredients except pectin in a large pot and while stirring bring to a full boil.
  • Boil hard for 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and immediately stir in pectin.
  • Bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute.
  • Remove and skim off foam and then skim again.
  • Ladle into clean hot jars leaving 1/2 inch head space.
  • Seal and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath at altitudes up to 1000 feet.
  • Note-the apples will rise to the top so after the"pop" I turn the jars a few times.
