Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe apples for the best flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Simmer the apples and spices in apple cider until the apples are very soft. This will help to extract the maximum flavor from the apples and spices.
  • Strain the apple mixture through a cheesecloth-lined colander to remove any solids. Make sure to press on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  • Stir in the sugar and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the jelly reaches the desired consistency.
  • Pour the jelly into sterilized jars and seal tightly. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

Conclusion:

Spiced cider jelly is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for fall and winter. It is a great way to use up fresh apples and it makes a lovely gift for friends and family. With its warm and comforting flavor, spiced cider jelly is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
