Apple jam

Description

Perfect for winter stockpiling. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the apples. Cook the apples for about 5 minutes. Add the cider, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 120°C. Press the cooked apples through a sieve to make purée. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and cinnamon. Blend the purée in a blender until smooth. Pour the mixture into a baking dish. Bake in the oven, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, about 3 to 3½ hours. Let cool before serving. Apple butter can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
