Make in the same way as Apple Honey,
but add 2 Tablespoons of red wine
vinegar to the original quantity of liquid and sugar. A few minutes
before the cooking of the jelly has finished, add any herbs you like,
such as mint, thyme, marjoram, rosemary or sage. |
This is an easy and cheap way of making
apple jam. It is just sticky and yummy. apple skins, cores, seeds, etc
left over after making apple pies, any crab apples etc water to cover
sugar lemon juice Place peelings etc and cold water into a pan and cook
for about 4 hours replacing water as needed, or place in a crock pot and
cook on low overnight. Tip peelings and liquid into muslin and allow to
drip into a basin. Do not squeeze - this makes the jelly cloudy.
When as much liquid as possible has dripped into the basin, measure the
quantity of liquid as you put it into a saucepan. For half litre
of liquid, add 1 generous cup of sugar and 1.5 Tblspn of lemon juice. Heat
gently until the sugar dissolves and then bring rapidly to the
boil. Allow to cook at a fast boil until liquid begins to thicken and
darken. Test the liquid on a plate every two minutes. It will wrinkle
when the jelly is ready. Pour into hot sterilised small jars and cover,
allow to cool. |
