  • Preserving. Old preserving methods may not make food safe to keep. Use current tested guidance.

Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. Apples
  2. a teacupful of water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Select juicy apples.
  2. Mealy ones are no good.
  3. Wash and quarter and put into a preserving kettle over the fire with a teacupful of water.
  4. If necessary add more water as it evaporates.
  5. When boiled to a pulp strain the apples through a flannel bag, then proceed as for other jelly.
