Have you heard the term Crocktober? What a genius term for all of your favorite crockpot recipes that need to be enjoyed during October. That brought me to my favorite Crockpot Apple Jam recipe.

One round made here and more on the agenda.

My niece asked for my recipe for the crockpot apple jam and as I looked over my recipes? I realized that I didn’t have one truly dedicated to just the apple jam.

So, for all of you who need this recipe? This is the one to keep.

When our house was full of guests before the Martha’s Vineyard trip? This jam was proclaimed most of the ten guests’ favorite.

And so… I will make more to fill the pantry.

Now, trust me…when orchard harvests are overflowing? This is the time I choose to make mine…but, I did something this year that I hadn’t done. My husband bought a variety of different types of apples at Sam’s to make up the difference from what I had from the orchard farm…and it was perfect.

I will warn you that if you look on the outside of a bag of purchased apples, you may find that your apples are coated with a food safe “shellac”.

With using my apple peeler corer slicer, I simply cut off all of the peeling so I didn’t have issues with the jam.

And it turned out beautifully.

So, if apple orchard harvests are over where you are? Never fear…you can use those from your grocer’s.

Cuisine American

Equipment

1 crockpot
1 apple/peeler/corer/slicer optional–for ease
1 set measuring spoons
1 food scales- to weigh apples
1 water bath canner
Canning Jars, rings and lids
food air release tool
Jar lifter

Ingredients

6 lbs apples- variety
2 C brown sugar
1 T cinnamon
1 dash Kosher salt
1 T lemon juice

Instructions

Weigh and wash your apples.
Peel, core and slice apples.
TIP: An apple, corer, peeler, slicer tool makes this job so easy.
Add apples to your crockpot.
TIP: I'm not a fan of using plastic liners for this recipe because it cooks so long and I want to make sure no plastic breaks down in the jam.
Add brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and lemon juice to the apples and stir.
NOTE: Lemon juice adds a brightness to the apples.
Add lid and cook on high for about 8 hours.
TIP: Don't be tempted to lift lid…it only lengthens cooking time.
When you have cooked the apples for about 8 hours, remove the lid and check the consistency. If there's more liquid than desired, simply cook with lid off for another hour.
You can add the jam to freezer containers OR water bath can them.
If canning, add to sterilized canning jars and fill to about 1/2" from the top. Wipe tops and sides of jars off with a clean, damp cloth.
Add lids (no longer do they have to be sterilized) and rings to finger tightness only.
Fill the waterbath canner with enough water to cover the jars by at least an inch of water after they are added with a jar lifter.
Cover and when the water is boiling, begin canning time and waterbath them for 15 minutes.
When finished canning, remove lid and let jars sit for about 5 minutes before using a jar lifter to remove them from the canner and onto a cloth covered surface out of drafts.
Let jars cool for 24 hours before moving and labeling them.
NOTE: Do NOT push down on lids during the cooling process. Any jars with lids that don't seal should be added to the fridge and used; OR added to freezer containers for safe storage.
Enjoy on biscuits or toast!

Notes

An easy and delicious jam that will be enjoyed by all who have their feet under your table.

Perfect paired with toast or biscuits…and a great gift idea!
