APPLE JELLY
This delicate fruit preserve can help you use up your bounty of peak fall apples. A crystal clear jelly is what you are after here, so look for cooking apples - you want firm, crisp fruit that will hold up to stewing and straining without falling apart. Once the apples are cooked and their juices are extracted, the resulting jam is reminiscent of floral honey and tart citrus. Serve with a buttery croissant, warm toast, as a filling for pastries or a glaze for fruit tarts and cakes.

Steps:
- Cut the apples into 1-inch pieces without peeling or coring, but discard any damaged or spoiled spots.
- Place the apples in a large nonreactive pot and pour in 8 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower heat to maintain a simmer and cook without stirring until the apples soften, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Remove from the heat. Set a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a muslin bag over another large pot, and pour the contents of the pot into the sieve. Do not press on the apples to prevent the jelly from becoming cloudy. You should have at least 7 cups of juice. Some apple varieties absorb more water and may need 2 to 8 hours for the juice to naturally strain out. If that's the case, refrigerate the pot.
- Place a small plate in the freezer to use for testing the setting point of the jelly. Set the pot with the juice over medium-high heat. (Discard the fruit.) Add the sugar and lemon juice, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil, skimming and discarding any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid reduces by about three-quarters and a candy or deep-fry thermometer registers 225 degrees, 40 to 50 minutes. To test for doneness, spoon a small amount of liquid onto the cold plate from the freezer and return to the freezer to cool completely, about 2 minutes. Drag a spoon through the jelly. The setting point has been reached if it wrinkles and the wrinkles hold their shape. If they don't, continue to cook the jelly and test every few minutes on the cold plate.
- Once the jelly is done cooking, add the salt, stir to dissolve and adjust with more lemon juice, if needed, for a nice balance of sweet and tart with a floral taste. Ladle the hot liquid into clean, sanitized jars, screw on the lids and follow steps to can, or allow to cool to room temperature and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.

APPLE AND MINT JELLY
I had to hunt to find a jelly that used enough mint to make a dent in my big healthy bush-I found this one by Aussie Jackie French, on the internet. She gave no prep or cooking times, but I found it took about 20 mins to prep, 20 mins to cook the apples and about 45 minutes to get to the jellied stage.

Steps:
- Don't peel or core the apples. Cut into eighths.
- Boil them with the water and lemon juice till soft. Strain off the juice. (this took about 20 mins and is included in the prep time).
- Add 500grams of sugar for every 600mls liquid. I ended up with 1 litre of liquid so used 840g sugar. It tastes good.
- Add the mint, chillis and sugar, stir till the sugar dissolves, boil till jellied. I began testing mine after about 20 mins, but found it took around 45 minutes I tested by dropping a small amount on a plate and popping it in the freezer for a couple of minutes. I cooked until it had a jellied consistency when I ran my finger through it.
- Bottle and seal while hot.
- Note: The mint can be strained out after about ten minutes cooking, but I rather like left in, as long as it is finely chopped.

- Fill the canning pot half-full of water, put the rack inside, and put it on a back burner to warm while getting the jelly ready. It takes a while for that much water to get hot!
- You’ll also want to sterilize the jars, lids, and rings (I run them through the dishwasher without soap). Keep the jars warm and put the lids into a bowl of very hot water.
- Put the mint leaves in a saucepan, add the apple juice, and bring to a boil. After it boils, turn off the heat and let the mint sit in the apple juice for 10 minutes. This will allow the mint flavor to infuse into the juice.
- Strain the liquid (I used a coffee filter) and measure 3 cups of liquid. If you end up with less than 3 cups, top it off with a bit more apple juice.
