2. 2

   {'id': 'step_1', 'step': 2, 'text': 'Place apples in a large pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until apples are slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Crush cooked apples and simmer for 5 more minutes.'}

3. 3

   {'id': 'step_2', 'step': 3, 'text': 'Transfer crushed apples to a sieve or cheesecloth. Let drip into a bowl until all liquid has drained, pressing gently to release all the juice.'}

4. 4

   {'id': 'step_3', 'step': 4, 'text': 'Measure 5 cups apple juice, adding water if necessary to have the exact amount. Stir sugar into juice; add butter to reduce foaming.'}

6. 6

   {'id': 'step_5', 'step': 6, 'text': 'Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Ladle apple jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/8 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.'}

   {'id': 'step_6', 'step': 7, 'text': 'Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 5 minutes.'}

8. 8

   {'id': 'step_7', 'step': 8, 'text': 'Carefully remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lids do not move up or down at all). Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours. Store in a cool, dark area.'}
