👩‍🍳 Instructions For Delia Smith Crab Apple Jelly

1. Discard any fractures or rusty rings in four 1/2-pint jars. Simmer jelly till ready. Soap up new lids and rings.
2. Remove crab apple stems and blossoms. Place quartered fruit in a big stainless steel pot. Add cinnamon stick and enough water to see through the fruit, but not enough to float it. Boil over medium-high heat. Simmer for 10–15 minutes over medium heat until fruit is tender and colored.
3. Remove cinnamon. Strain fruit through 2–3 layers of cheesecloth to get at least 4 cups of juice. Discard pulp and return juice to pot.
4. Simmer juice for 10 minutes. Remove surface foam. Dissolve sugar. Cook at a low boil for 2–5 minutes until juice reaches 220–222 degrees F (104–106 degrees C). Stop cooking.
5. Fill hot, sterilized jars to 1/4 inch with jelly. Remove air bubbles by running a clean knife or narrow spatula around the jars. Clean rims with a damp paper towel. Close lids and screw rings.
6. Fill a big stockpot halfway with a rack and water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water with a holder. Cover jars with boiling water. Cover and boil 5 minutes.
7. Remove the jars from the stockpot and leave them several inches apart for 12–24 hours. To keep lids in place, press the middle with a finger. Store rings separately in a cold, dark place.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Use fresh crab apples. Your jam will taste and feel best if you use fresh crab apples.
• Don’t leave out the cinnamon. Adding a cinnamon stick makes the jelly taste better, but you don’t have to do it if you want a pure crab apple taste.
• Don’t rush the process of setting. Follow the recommended cooking and cooling times for your jelly to make sure it sets upright.
• Don’t use anything else. Stick to white sugar, as the recipe says, to get the sweetness and density you want.
• Try to get a smooth feel. Cooked crab apples need to be strained well to get a smooth jelly without any lumps or pulp.
• How to store. Seal the jars tightly and put the jelly somewhere cool and dark to keep it fresh and make it last longer.
