Apple Jelly
715
Great recipe, measurements worked out perfectly. Used the resulting jelly with Apple stuffed pork chops (linked below). The sweet slightly tart would work great with some spice, perhaps red pepper flakes added for a sweet-spicy kick.
Ingredients
| 4 | cups |
apple juice
3 pounds of apples and 3 cups of water, approximately |
|
| 2 | tablespoons |
lemon juice
strained |
|
| 3 | cups |
sugar

Directions
To prepare juice:
Select about one-fourth firm-ripe and three-fourths fully ripe tart apples. Sort, wash, and remove stem and blossom ends; do not pare or core.
Cut apples into small pieces. Add water, cover and bring to boil on high heat.
Reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until apples are soft. Extract juice.
To make jelly:
Measure apple juice into a kettle.
Add lemon juice and sugar, stir well.
Boil over high heat to 8 degrees above the boiling point of water, or until jelly mixture sheets from a spoon.
Remove from heat, skim off foam quickly.
Pour jelly immediately into sterilized hot containers and seal.
Makes 3 to 4 8-ounce glasses.

I am going to try this and add jalapeno peppers and replace a little of the juice with a little apple cider vinegar to it and make it "Pepper Jelly". Hope it comes out ok, gonna be Christmas gifts.

You didn't say how much sugar goes in the jelly
almost 3 years agoIt’s so much easier to use bottled 100%juice. I use equal amount of juice and sugar. I found perfect recipe. 2 3/4 cup juice. 3 1/4 cup sugar. Sure Jell 1tsp lemon juice. Boil on med heat 1 min. I have also used Cran/apple juice from bottled juice
