If you are looking for a delicious sugar free or vegan holiday jam, then look no further. This Cran Apple jam is absolutely delicious and not too tart.
Vegan Sugar-free Cran-Apple Jam
Yield: 4 1/2 - 5 pints.
Ingredients
• 8 cups of peeled and diced apple (approximately 5-6 large apples, 1/2 inch dice. Use a softer apple like a Golden Delicious. Firm apples won't cook down as well.)
• 4 cups of whole cranberries (24 oz)
• 4 Cups dates (1 c dates per 8 oz of cranberries) finely chopped
• 1 cup water
• 2 lemons, zested and juiced
• 2 tbs ground cinnamon
• 4 Tbsp Chia Seeds mixed with cup of water
Instructions
1. Combine the apples, cranberries, dates and water in a large pot (use a big one, this jam will bubble) over high heat. Bring to a boil, skimming off the foam that develops on the top of the fruit. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until the cranberries pop and the apples soften.
2. Pour into blender/food processor and blend to your preferred consistency. Return back to pot.
3. Add the lemon zest and juice and simmer until the liquid in the pot begins to thicken (because both apples and cranberries are naturally high in pectin, you won't need any additional pectin to help this jam set, as long as you cook it until thick and syrupy though using dates you will not get much of a syrupy texture).
4. Remove from heat and stir in the Chia water mixture
5. Ladle into prepared jars, wipe rims, apply lids and process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes. Label nicely and distribute to those you love.
