5 c. prepared fruit (about 3 lbs. fully ripe apples and 2 c. water)
7 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. ground allspice
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 c. lemon juice
1 pouch Certo

Remove form heat and stir in Certo at once. Skim and ladle into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/8-inch head space. Process for 5 minutes in boiling water bath. Makes about 8 3/4 cups.
