Your recipe is real close to ours only instead of the ground cinnamon we use the cinnamon sticks then remove before “bottling”.
I think the little bit of nutmeg made the batch so good. I use a dash of nutmeg when I bake an apple pie. ... And I think there’s some ‘apple pie’ in the fridge right now! BBL
BTW, I buy Newman’s Own Spaghetti sauce. It comes in glass jars with what I have found are reuseable lids. I remove the label before putting it in the dishwasher, then place the lid on loosely after eveything is washed nd dry. When you pour boiling water into the jars and over the lids then empty them before pouring in the ‘apple pie’, the jars seal up with a nice ‘pop’ as they cool. ... Ijust tasted an opened jar; it keeps real good! *smack*
