Snowy Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I finally got round to using up my crabapples and made the crabapple and clove jelly (only enough for 4 jars) The other day I was ordering my turkey from the local farm and noticed they were giving away apples, so "Ooops, word censored!"bled a bag. Had a bag of rosehips in the freezer that needed using up and found a recipe for apple and rosehip jelly (courtesy of Kate - ta Kate!) This is the result: Only enough rosehips for 1 1/2 jars, but I'm really pleased with the result! Got loads of apples left so the next job is a batch of apple and rosemary jelly! There's no stopping me now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Oh wow! They look fab, Snowy!! I'll try the apple and rosehip one myself next year as it's such a gorgeous colour . Addictive, isn't it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Tastes rather nice as well Kate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Have you tried apple and mint jelly Snowy? just tie a spring of fresh mint in some muslin and infuse whilst the liquid is cooling, then put a teaspoon of dried mint in each jar. When the jelly is at setting point, pour it into the jar and the dried mint 'floats' in the jar! Its a lovely looking jelly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 It certainly is, Christian. I made some this summer and it's so pretty . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I just love making jelly - it's so pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I enjoyed making it for the first time this year too. I am doing the minty version next year,just for a change,although I love the look of the rosehip one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 There were loads fo rosehips around this year, so I will use them next year. I must try to find them again, but I saw some lovely recipes for jellies with things like lavender, rosemary, mint, geranium..... they'd be great additions to a sweet but otherwise plain Jelly. We ought to get together next year and make all our jellies and pool resources Sarah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
