Preparation / Directions:
Prepare apples and put them into 2 quarts of water containing 2 tablespoons of Fresh Fruit or citric acid until all the fruit is prepared. This will keep the apples from turning brown. Make the syrup by adding all the ingredients except the apples to a large pan.
Bring syrup to a boil and stir to dissolve the sugar. Rinse the citric acid off the apples slices, drain, and add the apples to the syrup. Cook the apples 3 to 4 minutes or until they are slightly tender. Remove the pan from the heat and spoon the apples and syrup into hot jars.
Pack tightly or the apples will float to the top of the jar after processing. Release air bubbles and clean rims. Seal and process in hot water bath for 15 minutes. Makes about 5 quarts.
