Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Place apples in a large pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until apples are slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Crush cooked apples and simmer for 5 more minutes.
  3. 3 Transfer crushed apples to a sieve or cheesecloth. Let drip into a bowl until all liquid has drained, pressing gently to release all the juice.
  4. 4 Measure 5 cups apple juice, adding water if necessary to have the exact amount. Stir sugar into juice; add butter to reduce foaming.
  5. 5 Bring juice mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin; boil for exactly 1 minute to dissolve pectin, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off excess foam with a metal spoon.
  6. 6 Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Ladle apple jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/8 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  7. 7 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 5 minutes.
  8. 8 Carefully remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lids do not move up or down at all). Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours. Store in a cool, dark area.

Reduce heat to medium; simmer gently, stirring often, until mixture is thickened and a spoon drug through leaves a trail that doesn't fill in immediately, about 1 hour. Stir every minute or so toward the end of cooking to prevent scorching.
  3. 3 Pack chutney into hot, sterilized jars using a wide-mouth funnel, filling to within ½ inch of tops. Run a clean wooden chopstick around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles; add more chutney if necessary to bring level to ½ inch of tops. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  4. 4 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, uncover pot, and let jars stand in cooling water for 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
  5. 5 Transfer jars from stockpot to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool and let rest, several inches apart to cool completely. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area. Sealed jars are shelf-stable for at least 1 year.
