APPLE JELLY. Wash and wipe the apples; remove stems and blossom ends, then cut into pieces without paring or coring. (Note: The jelly is clearer to core the apples.) Put the fruit into a porcelain-lined kettle, and barely cover with cold water. Cover and cook slowly, until the apples are very tender. Drain through a flannel bag without pressing or squeezing, as either one will make the jelly cloudy. To each pint of juice allow one pound granulated sugar.
