pounds apples and 3 cups
water)

fully ripe tart apples. Sort, wash, and remove stem and blossom ends; do
not pare or core. Cut apples into small pieces. Add water, cover and bring
to boil on high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or
until apples are soft. Extract juice.

To make jelly: Measure apple juice into a kettle. Add lemon juice and
sugar nd stir well. Boil over high heat to 8 degrees above the boiling
point of water, or until jelly mixture sheets from a spoon.
