6 c Peeled-cored-sliced apples
1 tb Lemon juice
1 Lemon thinly sliced
4 c Sugar
1 c Water
1 pk Pectin
2 ts Ground nutmeg


Recipe

This is NOT jam. Good served warmed as a sidedish (like escalloped apples). Mix apples, water, lemon juice in large pot. Simmer covered 10 min. Stir in pectin and bring to full rolling boil, stir frequently. Add lemon slices/sugar and bring to full rolling boil again and boil for 1 min, stir frequently. Remove from heat and add nutmeg. Pour into hot jars or cool and put into freezer containers. If canning, process 10 min in boiling water bath. Yield 6 half pints. IF FREEZING, MAKE SURE YOU COOL FIRST, IT WILL BE HOT ENOUGH TO MELT PLASTIC !
