The homemade Envy^TM apples easy jam is a collaboration with EnzaFruit, Publix Stores, and Publix Aprons Cooking School. However, all opinions are my own.

If you are an apple lover, you need to try the EnvyTM apples easy jam and learn about my canning and homemade jam cooking tips!

Making jams is easy; the secret is to use the freshest fruits right at the peak of the season. Resulting in a delightful jam capturing the best features and flavors.

We are apple snobs and have a few favorites. But the ENVY brand is by far our preferred brand for apples. Luckily I find them at my local Publix. I like to eat them raw, with yogurt, add to lunchboxes, use for smoothies, and for making apple jam.

Why we chose ENVY Apples?

The ENVY apples are pretty special. They were born using natural plant-breeding methods, crossing Braeburn with Royal Gala apples. This crop originated in New Zealand, but it grows in Washington state and Chile.

These apples are sweet, have a beautiful color, and are crisp. But best of all they do not brown after slicing or chopping. Making them a perfect option for fresh salads, for the kid’s lunchbox and to prepare beautiful overnight oats and apple cups for breakfast.

Making jam and canning is an easy process!

Some of you think that making your jam at home is a daunting process. Thus you opt for purchasing commercial brands. However, making homemade jam is simple and allows you the freedom to create your formulas and flavors.

After making this apple jam for the first time, you will get hooked. It feels good to make your fruit preserves and make them last thanks to the canning technique.

But first, head over to Publix and shop for the apple jam ingredients. Including four ENVY apples, refined and turbinado sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, yellow lemon, apple cider, and butter. Don’t forget the pectin and three 17 ounce mason jars.

Canning tips and techniques

When canning, we need to follow safety rules as canning requires the use of boiling water and making sure the canning process has been done correctly to avoid the jam going bad.

• For canning, we recommend using a canning pot. The classic pot requires a gas stove, but there are pots appropriate for induction heating or electric furnaces, for best results choose the correct pot.
• Invest in canning tools. Have handy a canning funnel, a ladle, a canning jar lifter with rubber grips, a good pair of kitchen tongs, a magnetic lid lifter and bubble remover.
• Wash and sterilize the mason jars before use.
• Keep the mason jars warm to avoid shocking them with the hot jam.
• Immerse the mason jars at least 2 inches making until the water covers them from bottom to the top.
• Keep the filled jam jars in the boiling water for 10-15 minutes.
• If the canning process is successful, the lids will pop to confirm the jar correctly sealed.
• If the jar does not seal correctly, the jam should be kept in refrigeration or repeat the process until lids make a popping noise.
