Jelly jars.

Seventeen little jars of glowing jelly.


Marleen asked if I would share the recipe.
Way back in September 2008 I did a sort of photo 'tutorial', but I cant find a way to link it so that you can pick it up straight away.

But like any jelly making you just need a big preserving pan (you can see mine in the photo) in which to boil the fruit, a jelly bag to strain it, and preserving sugar to add to the juice. I put 1lb sugar to 1 pint juice.
Bring it to a rolling boil and after about 10 - 15 minutes the set will be starting. Fill lots of warm jars, and wait till it cools to eat!

    The sight of your jars of Crab Apple jelly warms my heart on this cold September morning.
    I would love to spread some on my toast for breakfast this morning B!
    I found your link to the old post and here it is:

    Elizabeth, your crabapple jelly jars glow like precious gems! Oh, I can imagine tasting the jelly with a little butter on toast. Yummy!

    They do indeed glow, a gorgeous colour somewhere between pink and gold!
    I can imagine how good the flavour is.
