How to Make Apple Core And Peeling Jelly

  1. Wash and chop apple cores and peelings into small pieces.
  2. Combine the chopped apple cores and peelings with 2 cups of water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the apples are very soft.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Measure the resulting apple juice – you should have approximately 2 cups.
  4. Return the apple juice to the saucepan. Add 2 cups of sugar and the lemon juice. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the jelly reaches setting point (approx 220°F or 104°C using a candy thermometer).
  6. Remove from heat and carefully skim off any foam.
  7. Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
  8. Wipe the jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust according to your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
  9. Let the jars cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal. Check to ensure all jars sealed properly.
