Steps:

  • Wash and pick over the fruit, discarding any that are damaged
  • Wash and cut up the apples, cutting out any bruises. Don't peel or core them
  • Put all into a preserving pan with a little water and simmer until soft and it's mostly juice
  • Put into a jelly bag and strain overnight
  • Measure the juice (n.b. Don't squeeze the jelly bag or the result will be cloudy)
  • Return to the pan and add 1lb (500g) per 1pt (600ml) of juice and allow to dissolve over a low heat.
  • Boil rapidly until setting point is reached. (A knob of butter helps get rid of any scum)
  • Put into steralised jars, cover and label.
  • Enjoy on toast, scones, rice pudding; with cold meat; or in a sauce for venison or pork
