Apple Jelly

Ingredients

• 1 lb apples

Method

1. 1 Wash and cut up the apples. Place them in a pot with 1 pint of water for each pound of apples.
2. 2 Boil the apples in the water until tender.
3. 3 Pour the mixture into a jelly bag and let it drain well.
4. 4 For each pint of juice, add 1 lb of sugar and the juice of 1 lemon per quart of liquid.
