Recipe Categories : | Jellies | Apples | Passionfruit |

Serves : makes 3½ cups

Ingredients :

• 1 kg apples ( about 5 large)
• 6 cups water
• 4½ cups sugar, approx.
• ½ cup passionfruit pulp ( about 6 passionfruit)

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

1. Cut unpeeled apples crossways into thin slices. Combine apples (including seeds and cores) with the water in a large saucepan; bring back to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered for 1 hour. Strain the mixture through a large piece of damp muslin into large bowl; allow mixture to drip through cloth for several hours or overnight. Do not squeeze or press the mixture through the cloth as this will result in cloudy jelly.
2. Measure the strained liquid, discard pulp. Allow the correct amount of sugar ( 1 cup per cup of liquid). return liquid with sugar to clean large saucepan; stir over heat, without boiling, until sugar dissolves. Boil, uncovered, without stirring, about 15 minutes or until jelly sets when tested. Gently stir passionfruit pulp through jelly; stand 5 minutes. Pour hot jelly into hot sterilized jars; seal while hot.
