BUTTERY CARAMEL APPLE JAM

Steps:

• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
• Bring apples, water, and butter to a boil in a large pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until apples are softened, about 8 minutes. Mix in brown sugar, white sugar, pectin powder, and butter flavoring. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring often. Cook at a boil for 2 minutes without stirring.
• Pack the apple jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 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.
• 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 15 minutes.
• 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 (lid does not move up or down at all). Let stand 8 hours to overnight before use. Store in a cool, dark area; refrigerate opened jars.

CARAMEL APPLE JAM

Steps:

• In a large saucepan combine apples, 1/2 cup of the water, and the lemon juice. Bring mixture to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until apples are very tender, stirring frequently. Press apples through a food mill or sieve until you have 5 cups pulp; discard skins.
• Meanwhile, for caramel, pour granulated sugar into a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot, spreading evenly. Heat over medium-high heat until sugar begins to melt, shaking pot occasionally; do not stir. When the sugar starts to melt, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until all of the sugar is melted and golden, stirring as necessary with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat. Carefully add the remaining 3/4 cup water (caramel will spatter and become hard). Return to heat; cook and stir over medium heat until caramel is dissolved.
• Carefully add the 5 cups apple pulp and brown sugar to caramel (again, caramel will spatter and become hard). Cook over medium heat until brown sugar and caramel are dissolved, stirring constantly. Increase heat to medium-high. Boil gently, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until mixture is thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla.
• Ladle hot jam into hot sterilized half-pint canning jars, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe jar rims; adjust lids and screw bands.
• Process filled jars in a boiling-water canner for 10 minutes (start timing when water returns to boiling). Remove jars from canner; cool on wire racks. Makes 6 half-pints.
