Press apple mixture through a food mill or sieve; then return sieved apples to the dutch oven. Allow mixture to boil gently, uncovered, for 30 minutes, remembering to stir occasionally. Add sugar and syrup and boil gently, stirring frequently with long-handled spoon, 3 to 4 hours or until desired thickness. Stir in cinnamon and cloves and cook 15 minutes more. Pour into 12 hot, clean half-pint jars, leaving half-inch at the top. Wipe rims, adjust lids and process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
