Karen's Chunky Apple Maple Jelly

Ingredients
- 2 large apples one soft, one firm!
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup filtered water
- 1 cup pure cane sugar I use organic
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup!)
- 1 medium cinnamon stick
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Peel, core and chop the two apples - 1/4" pieces. HINT: use one soft apple, one firm.
- Add apples and the remaining ingredients to a non-reactive one quart pot. Bring to a boil, stirring, stir heat down to a moderate simmer.
- Continue to cook, stirring - will look like a lot of liquid, this will reduce to a syrup. Will take 15 - 20 minutes, depending on your simmer... I like to take it slow: moderate simmer.
- Remove jam from the stovetop. Will thicken slightly when cools - so take off heat when a little syrupy!
- Remove cinnamon stick - store jelly in clean glass jars in the refrigerator for up to one month. Make 1 1/3 cups.
Notes
To make Crostini:
Brush Olive Oil on Baguette Slices and bake in the oven at 350 degrees until lightly toasted. Add a portion of room temperature Goat Cheese to each, top with a scant teaspoon of Apple Maple Jelly. Optional: add a few toasted pecans. Serve room temperature or heat in a low oven until just a touch warm. Garnish with an herb sprig; marjoram or chives.
