MCP® Dutch Apple Pie Jam


Prep Time: 45 min
Total Time: 45 min
Makes: About 5 (1-cup) jars


6-1/2 cups prepared fruit (buy about 2-1/2 lb. Granny Smith or other tart green apples)

1/2 cup raisins

3/4 cup water

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ground allspice

1 box MCP Pectin

1/4 tsp. butter or margarine (optional)

4 cups granulated sugar, measured into separate bowl

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar


BRING boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.

PEEL and core apples; grind or finely chop fruit. Measure 6-1/2 cups fruit into 6- or 8-quart saucepot. Stir in raisins, water, lemon juice, cinnamon and allspice.

STIR pectin into prepared fruit in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming, if desired. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugars. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.

LADLE immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with 2-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 minutes. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)


Note: Jam is soft set; best when served chilled.

There is a list of recipes for different kinds of jams and jellies.


From Kraft Foods

[howdy2yall]

1. Peel and slice ripe peaches
2. Mix one pound of peaches with one pound of sugar
3. Stir well with METAL SPOON.
4. Place over heat and boil for 20 to 30 minutes until jam thickens.

It is necessary to stir most of the time to precent sticking. When jam thickens (2 drops from spoon together and/or small amount on a cold plate will set up like an egg white), remove from heat. Skim off foam if necessary.
5. Pour into sterilized jelly jars. Add 1/4 inch paraffin. Enjoy!
