Ingredients

  • 6 cups apples (I used diced, peeled, cooking 5 granny smiths and 4 Fuji apple)
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1 teaspoon fruit fresh (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 1 (1 3/4 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup tequila (Tezon or any smooth white you enjoy)
  • 1/4 cup butterscotch schnapps

Method

  • In an eight cup bowl add apple cider and fruit fresh.
  • As you dice add the apples stirring them in so they don`t discolor.
  • Add them to a large pot, with the brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. Cook and stir over low heat until apples are soft, the small dice they should only take 10 minutes.
  • Stir in pectin and bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Add the white sugar and return to a rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Turn heat off and add tequila and buttershots.
  • Remove from the heat and skim off any foam. Ladle hot jam into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Adjust caps. Process for 10 minutes in a boiling-water bath.
