- Sterilise jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Let simmer while making jam.
- In a large saucepan, combine apples, water and lemon juice. Cover, and simmer for 10 to 20 minutes, or until apples are soft but not mushy. Stir in pectin, and bring to the boil. Stir in the caster sugar, and continue boiling and stirring uncovered for 1 minute, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, and stir in brown sugar, allspice, and nutmeg.
- Quickly fill jars to within 1cm of the top. Wipe rims clean, and top with lids. Process jars in boiling water for 10 minutes to seal.

Can recycled jars be used (from shop bought jam)? Would they survive the boiling? I would like to try this but I don't want to buy kilner jars. - 10 May 2012
