Apple Jelly (One recipe for jelly will)
One recipe for jelly will really answer for all kinds, as the acidity of the fruit has nothing whatever to do with the quantity of the sugar. No matter what kind of jelly, allow one pound of sugar to one pint of juice.
2026 Editor's Note: While this text suggests that the acidity of the fruit does not affect the sugar ratio, modern safety guidelines for making apple jelly without added pectin recommend using a specific blend of one-fourth underripe and three-fourths fully ripe tart apples to ensure proper setting. Additionally, current standards from the National Center for Home Food Preservation advise boiling the mixture until it reaches 8 degrees F. above the boiling point of water , or until it sheets from a spoon, to confirm the jelly has reached its set point.
