Is there anything better than homemade jam? Ingredients fresh from the garden or farmer’s market, prepared on the stove, served at Sunday brunch…The rest, canned for later or even wrapped nicely with ribbon and given as gifts.
That’s exactly what you get with this homemade apple pie jam. Spread it over your toast or english muffin, or use it as pie filling when you make apple pie! It doesn’t get any easier, either. It’s so delicious, you may find yourself scooping a spoonful or two in between cannings. I know I sure did. It’s just that good, folks.
