3.Measure apple liquid, allow 1 cup sugar for each cup of liquid. Return apple liquid and sugar to pan; stir over high heat, without boiling, until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil; boil rapidly, uncovered, without stirring, about 20 minutes or until jelly jells when tested.

Granny Smith apples are best for this recipe. This is a good base jelly, ­for slight variations try adding cinnamon sticks, rosemary sprigs or dried lavender to the jelly.
