Instructions

  1. 1 Inspect 6 (half-pint) jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jelly is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm, soapy water.
  2. 2 Combine apple juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a heavy saucepan; add pectin and bring to a rolling boil over high heat until pectin is dissolved. Slowly stir in sugar; return to a rolling boil and boil for 1 full minute.
  3. 3 Off heat, skim off foam with a metal spoon.
  4. 4 Pack jelly into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  5. 5 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 boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 15 minutes.
  6. 6 Remove jars from the stockpot; set aside to cool, several inches apart, 12 to 24 hours. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Instructions

  1. 1 Inspect five ½-pint jars for cracks and ensure rings fit properly; discard any defective ones. Immerse jars in simmering water until ready to use. Wash new lids and rings in warm, soapy water; rinse well.
  2. 2 Combine pumpkin puree, sugar, apple juice, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a large saucepan over medium heat; stir until well combined. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 30 to 35 minutes. Pumpkin butter is ready when a spoon dragged through the mixture leaves a trail that doesn’t fill in immediately.
  3. 3 Ladle pumpkin butter into hot, sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace. Run a thin spatula or knife along the inside to remove air bubbles. Wipe rims clean with a damp paper towel and secure lids tightly.
  4. 4 Cool jars to room temperature; refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
