Get a box of pectin and you will undoubtedly find, under jams, apple listed as one of the fruits you can make jam from. Just follow directions.
Or, cut up your apples to the fineness you want, and cook with a couple cups of sugar and maybe a little frozen apple juice and a squirt of lemon. Watch for scorching. Apples are where we get pectin from so just cook it to point it looks and tastes the way you want. Be sure at least a few of the apples are tart green ones, that's for the pectin.

What is the best apple to use when making jam?
Does anyone have an Apple Jam recipe? I can find plenty for jelly, but I'm looking for jam with bits of fruit in it. Thanks.
