Introduction

A barely sweetened, cinnamon-kissed syrup cocoons chunks of local, organic apples in this perfect topper for pancakes, waffles, crepes or ice cream.

Number of Servings: 16

Ingredients

    7 medium "pie" apples, peeled and chopped (use a mix of sweet and tart)
    ¾ cup sugar
    ½ cup apple-flavoured herbal tea, cold
    2 tbsp tapioca starch
    ½ tsp cinnamon
    ½ tsp fresh grated ginger
    1 tbsp lemon juice

Tips

Using tapioca starch instead of cornstarch means this can be frozen if you aren't canning it, and will remain stable in the jar longer.


Directions

Combine apples and sugar in a large saucepan, cover and let stand 1 hour.
Place over medium-high heat and stir frequently until mixture comes to a boil. Boil hard 1 minute, continuing to stir frequently.
Whisk together tea, tapioca, cinnamon, ginger and lemon juice and stir into apples.
Reduce heat to a brisk simmer and cook for 1 minute more, stirring.
Pack mixture into sterilized jar, seal and process in a waterbath for 20 minutes (pints) or 35 minutes (quarts)
