Help looking for recipes???

15 years ago

Ok, I just recently joined this forum and I am loving all the canning info. However, I can not find the actual recipes anywhere?? The one in particular I am looking for is the apple pie jam recipe. I have searched in the search box and the recipe exchange forum and it comes up with all the posts for it, but no recipe, please help me out. Where are all the recipes??? Thanks!

    Linda Lou's Apple Pie Jam
    4 cups tart apples, peeled and finely chopped
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
    4 cups sugar
    1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
    1 box pectin
    1/2 teaspoon butter

    Add water to chopped apples to measure 4 cups. Place apples and water into large, heavy saucepan. Stir in lemon juice, cinnamon and allspice.

    Measure sugars. Stir pectin into fruit. Add butter. Bring mixture to full rolling boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Quickly stir in both sugars. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.

    Ladle quickly into hot, clean jars, leaving 1/4" headspace. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands on finger tight. Process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

    The search function here can be cranky at best. It's almost faster to google 'recipe apple pie jam' and look for the GW listing :) Imagine, faster to take the long way around.

    You'll find most all of the recipes in the threads linked below - especially the ones with 'Leesa' in the title. Hope this helps.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Because we are a discussion forum, not an official "info web site," and some of us have been chatting here with each other for a long time, sometimes there are conversations that follow up on older ones (some years older!), which is supposed to be easily solveable for the newcomer by a search, but the search function here isn't very reliable.

    You can use Google's search function, and tick the box telling Google to only look for threads on this site, and it works better.

    And you can also always ask. Once in a while someone may grumble that "it's been discussed before" and tell you to "do a search" but just ignore them. There will always be someone who can take a moment to help you out.

    BTW, the Apple Pie Jam, and many, many other recipes, and good basic canning info is in the Ball Blue Book, which is a great, inexpensive basic for every canner.

    Happy harvesting, and do tell us about your adventures!

    Best,

    Zabby

    Hi,

    Welcome to the forum. I'm new to canning also, and have found the insight from folks on this site invaluable. Last year, I was using the search function at the top of the forum page where it just says Search and you type in what you want. It would bring up millions of things from all forums. I finally figured out this year that if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, there is another search where you can check the button that says search from this forum. Then, you only get stuff from the harvest forum, or whatever other forum you may happen to be on. I thought I'd let you know this in case you were searching from the top search. Once I used the bottom one, I got a lot more focused info on what I was looking for!
    Also, I made the Apple Pie Jam for the first time this weekend and it was great! very easy and tasty.
