I made it using lemon peels leftover after making lemonade, added in some apple cores and a couple of pears that were a bit past it and no-one was interested in eating. It tastes great. <br />I must say I just found your blog, and I'm quite enjoying it.<br />Cassandra xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-8203544566715030542016-09-13T22:31:05.346+01:002016-09-13T22:31:05.346+01:00Most definitely, my Aga loses a lot of heat when I...Most definitely, my Aga loses a lot of heat when I'm making jam, meaning I can only make one batch a day. One of these jam makers would solve that problem 😊 Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-48051962419491309122016-09-13T18:57:01.903+01:002016-09-13T18:57:01.903+01:00I too have made this fantastic jelly.

I use the River Cottage book regularly creating some delicious jams and chutneys. I have been able to raise £2000 by selling the results for local charity.lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06155776580526579657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-44681703259668141972016-09-13T18:41:32.660+01:002016-09-13T18:41:32.660+01:00I once tried crab apple jelly - we always have mas...I once tried crab apple jelly - we always have masses of crab apples - but although I followed the recipe implicitly it did not keep well and I ended up throwing a lot of it away.

I hate to think what the price of it would be, but it would certainly make life easier... But take away much of the sense of being connected to countless generations of women doing the very same thing in late summer. What do you think? Would you have one it it appeared "free" in your kitchen?<br />Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864657381173674455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-76797696803053805372016-09-13T11:04:00.426+01:002016-09-13T11:04:00.426+01:00Oooh this looks gorgeous Sue.

During our southern hemisphere Autumn (March April) I make apple mint jelly from the apple cores and mint, but I'm going to try making some of it with lemon next time.Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-39967370632053450542016-09-13T10:28:13.873+01:002016-09-13T10:28:13.873+01:00Our kitchen is the same - beer, baking, jam & ...Our kitchen is the same - beer, baking, jam & wine always on the go. Last years blackberry & elderberry wines are just drinking, this years rhubarb & strawberry wines will be ready soon and the apples will be picked for apple wine this week. I've got a huge bag of rhubarb to make into rhubarb & ginger jam, tons of rasps in the freezer for jelly, plus windfall apples & blackberries for bramble jelly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
