None of the soft non-keeping apples are suitable for preserving; sound, tart baking apples are the proper ones to use.
Apple Jam
Pare the apples, cut them in quarters, core carefully and slice rather thick. For every 1 pound allow one pound of good brown sugar. For every 5 pounds of apples allow thinly cut rinds and juice of 4 lemons. 1/4 - 1/2 pound of young whole ginger, or to taste 1 ounce of cloves.
Let all lie together in a bowl till next day. Boil until perfectly clear and until the apples are a rich amber color. Be sure to hot water bath according to canner's directions.
Wind- falls, when carefully prepared by cutting away all injured portions, make good jam following the above recipe.
