Late August around here means APPLE SEASON! Our crop was small but might this year but I think I have enough to do two batches of apply jelly.

It literally dangerously hot here in Kansas with 100-110 degree temperatures without the heat index. But apples ripen when they want. I took my time to wash and cut out the bad parts and pressure cook out the goodness.

After the juice is complete I made the basic cooked apply jelly recipe from the SureJell boxed instructions. This batch set but a very soft set. Not enough that I want to recook but I think I will make some tweaks for the second batch. It’s too hot for that!

OOOH! And I did something very environmentally friendly with the canning and sterilizing water. Stay tuned later this week!

Happy Canning!!
