Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Place Dried Apples in a large pot and cover with Apple Cider and Water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until apples are very soft.
Transfer the apple mixture to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
Return the pureed apple mixture to the pot. Add Granulated Sugar, Ground Cinnamon, Ground Nutmeg, and Ground Allspice.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for 30-60 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and burning.
Stir in Lemon Juice during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Transfer to sterilized jars and seal. Allow to cool completely before storing.
