Instructions

  1. 2-3 kg of wood or wild apples are required, which are washed and cut into small pieces with their skin and core. The juice is extracted in the steam extractor. This takes about 2 hours.
  2. Let the juice cool, measure 1,250 ml, put in a large saucepan with the spices and preserving sugar and cook according to the instructions. Skim off the foam and pour the hot jelly into sparkling clean glasses. Wipe the edges and seal with twist-off lids.
  3. The amount makes about 4 large glasses with a capacity of 350 ml. You can turn the glasses upside down for 10 minutes, but I never do that. This also creates a vacuum and keeps the lids clean.
  4. Wood or wild apples are hard to come by. The jelly can also be made with normal, preferably acidic, apple juice and will keep for 1-2 years.
