1 (12 ounce) can apple juice concentrate

  • Next day, add chopped lemon [I usually add the lemon zest, juice, and pulp but not the entire lemon].
  • Place in blender to soften hard pieces.
  • Cook over low heat until fruit tastes cooked, about 8 minutes, stirring often.

  • Process in boiling water bath for 5 minutes after water returns to boiling.
  • If any jars fail to seal, refrigerate& use within 10 days or freeze.
