Ingredients
- 2lbs blackberries
- 1lb chopped crab apples (inluding pips and core)
- 1 lemon
- Sugar
Method
- Place the blackberries in a pan with just enough water to cover the base of the pan. Soft fruit need much less water as they will give up plenty of juice once they get going.
- Simmer until soft then strain overnight using a jelly bag.
- Place the apples in a pan, only just covering with water. Simmer until soft then strain overnight using a jelly bag.
- Mix the juices with 1lb of sugar for each pint of liquid.
- Heat over a low heat until all the sugar has dissolved (stirring continuously).
- Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until setting point is reached.
- Pour into sterile jars and seal.
Notes
The lemon helps the jelly to set.
