Dutch Apple Jam - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb tart apple
    1/2 cup raisins
    1 cup water
    1/3 cup lemon juice
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
    4 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    1 cup packed light brown sugar
    1/2 teaspoon butter
    1 packet liquid pectin
Preparation
    Peel, core and finely chop enough apples to get 2 cups.
    Place all ingredients except pectin in a large pot and while stirring bring to a full boil.
    Boil hard for 1 minute.
    Remove from heat and immediately stir in pectin.
    Bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute.
    Remove and skim off foam and then skim again.
    Ladle into clean hot jars leaving 1/2 inch head space.
    Seal and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath at altitudes up to 1000 feet.
    Note-the apples will rise to the top so after the\"pop\" I turn the jars a few times.
