It's apple picking time again!
This weekend we went apple picking. While this was a fun family activity I was feeling a little stressed about the MOUNTAIN of apples that now live on my dining room table.
I ended up making a batch of all natural apple jelly. It was SUPER easy. Here's what I did:
Apple Jelly
3 cups of fresh squeezed apple juice
3 cups of sugar
We have a juicer. So I juiced enough apples to yield 3 cups of apple juice. Combine juice and sugar. Heat over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is reduced by half. If you have a candy thermometer, it should reach approximately 220 degrees. When the jelly is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, it's done.
It should be the consistency of honey.
You can pour the jelly into lidded jars. Allow to cool overnight.
If you would like to can the jelly for longer storage, watch this video.
The processing time (the amount of time you boil jarred jelly) is 5 minutes.
