Apple Jam and Apple Jelly. — The best time for making apple jelly is about the middle of November. Almost all kinds of apples can be used for the purpose, though if a clear white jelly is wanted Colvilles, or orange pippins should be chosen ; if red jelly is preferred very rosy-cheeked apples should be taken, and the skins should be boiled with the fruit. Apple jam is made of the fruit after the juice has been drawn off for jelly. Economical housekeepers will find that very excellent apple jelly can be made of apple parings, so that when apples in any quantity have been used for pies and tarts, the skins can be stewed in sufficient water to cover them, and when the liquid is strongly flavoured it can be strained and boiled with sugar to a jelly. To make apple jelly pare, core, and slice the apples and put them into a preserving pan with enough water to cover them.
