You will need:
Apples
Water
1 lb preserving sugar to each pint of pulp juice
1 lemon to every 2 pints of pulp juice
How to make Apple Preserve:
Wash, pare, core and slice the apples and place into a preserving pan (or heavy bottomed saucepan). DO NOT throw away the apple peel or cores. Add sufficient water to the apple slices to keep them from sticking to the bottom of the pan, cook until tender, place the pulp into a bowl and refrigerate when cold.
Place the apple cores and peel into the preserving pan along with the thinly pared lemon rind. Add sufficient water to cover, cook until tender, stirring occasionally. Put mixture into a muslim strainer and leave to stand for 24 hrs.
Mix together the apple pulp mixture and the liquid the next day and measure amount. Place into preserving pan and bring to the boil. For every pint of pulp/liquid mixture add 1 lb of preserving sugar and strained lemon juice. Boil rapidly until it coats the back of a wooden spoon. When ready, pour into small sterilised jars and seal when cold.
This apple preserve is delicious with roast pork, and also goes well with crusty bread and cheese. |
