Here’s a simple jelly recipe to start you off – lightly spiced apple jelly. Makes about six 8-ounce (250ml) jars.<\/p>\n
4 cups \/ 1 litre unsweetened apple juice<\/p>\n
1 package regular fruit pectin<\/p>\n
7 cups \/ 1.75 litres sugar<\/p>\n
3 cloves<\/p>\n
3 allspice berries<\/p>\n
1\/4 teaspoon ginger powder<\/p>\n
Prepare jars and lids according to instructions for hot water bath canning. Grind the spices into a fine powder and add to the sugar.<\/p>\n
Add apple juice to a large, non-rective pan. Whisk the pectin into the juice until completely incorporated. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently.<\/p>\n
Once the juice is boiling add the sugar all at once and return to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and quickly skim off any foam. Add to heated jars, leaving 0.25inch \/0.5cm headroom and process in hot water bath canner according to instructions.<\/p>\n
The essence of creative cooking is to be able to customise and tweak recipes to your own taste. This recipe makes a gently perfumed, spiced apple jelly – if you like a stronger flavour, increase the spices or change them around as you wish to make a completely custom flavour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
