By 11650

Ingredients

• 4 1/2 Cups white sugar
• 1 Cup Cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 10 Cups water
• 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
• 7 quarts peeled, cored and sliced apples

Preparation

Step 1

1. Fill hot water bath with water. Sterilize 7 quart jars, lids and rings by bringing water to boil. Boil 10 min.
2. Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and water in a large pan. Place over high heat and cook until thick and bubbly, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
3. Tightly pack apples into sterilized jars. Slowly pour syrup over apples, covering them completely. Gently tap jars on countertop to allow air bubbles to rise. Screw lids on jars.
4. Carefully lower jars into hot water bath. Cover with 2 inches of water. Bring water to boil, cover and process 10 minutes.
5. Remove jars from pot and place on cloth surface until cool. Once cool, press top of each lid with finger, ensuring that seal is tight (lid doesn't move up or down at all). Sealed jars can be stored for a year.
