Apple jelly

Cook 1 hrs 20 mins 8 servings

Like a clear glass of freshly pressed juice, the body of our apple jelly is pure and undiluted in flavour. Made only using fresh ingredients, our recipe calls for nothing but wholesome fruits and unyielding sweetness. Let it take part in cheeseboards, or serve it atop toast or pancakes - there is plenty to go around.

ingredients

  • 2 kilos apples
  • 700 ml water
  • 2 organic lemons
  • 1 kilo sugar per litre apple juice

preparation

Preparation

1. Cut the apples up into chunks, keeping the peel and the core. Pour the liquid through a fine-meshed cloth.

2. Combine the water, apples and lemons sliced in half in a pot and bring to a boil. Boil until the apples turn to mush – approx. 40 minutes.

3. Pour the liquid through a fine-meshed cloth, reserving all of the liquid. Discard the solids.

4. Put the liquid back into the bot, and combine with the sugar. Boil for 10 minutes.

5. Remove from heat and skim off any impurities or foam, as they will make the jelly cloudy.

6. Pour into jars, and let cool. Serve with your favorite cheese.
