Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 2 cups cider vinegar (5% acetic acid)
  • 20 medium apples, cored, peeled, and roughly chopped
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring apple cider, cider vinegar, and apples to a gentle boil over medium heat. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft, about 30 minutes.

  • Step 2: Mash apples in saucepan. Stir in remaining ingredients.

  • Step 3: Cook over medium heat, uncovered, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency that mounds on a spoon, 1 1/2 hours. It will thicken further as it cools, so remove from heat before it gets gummy.

  • Step 4: Fill jars (see my post in the canning forum) and process for 10 minutes.
