Filled with tender chunks of apples in a brandy-and-vanilla-flavored jelly, this is an intensely flavored jam with a heavenly aroma. I’ve gone a little to the French style with brandy and much less sugar. It is definitely a more adult jam, but the alcohol rapidly cooks off, so don’t worry about letting the kids have some.

Choose the right apples for the recipe. For a nice texture and flavor balance, you want a mixture of softer, sweet apples and some hard, tart apples for this jam. I used a mix of very hard, bright-green ‘Grannies’, ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji’.

If you don’t already have boiled cider in the freezer, it’s time to make some. See my how-to here.
