Jams and Jellies

Easy Apple Butter

3 quarts peeled apples, sliced thin
1/2 cup water
Add to crockpot and cook on high all day
Add
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Cook on low about 4 hours
Stir, put in hot sterilized jars and seal.




Candied Apple Jelly.

Follow the recipe on the insert in the pectin box for apple jelly. The best part is you use apple juice that you buy, just pour it in. Then add the pectin and sugar. Very easy. But add one package of red hot candies. Stir until they melt and turn it all red. Then follow the rest of the directions in the package for canning it. It looks beautiful, tastes great, and gets lots of compliments.




Mock Strawberry Jam

4 cups red tomatoes, peeled, chopped fine.

Add 4 cups sugar. Bring to a rolling boil. Boil for 20 minutes.

Add 2 regular size packages of wild strawberry
jello. Stir until dissolved. Pour into sterilized jars and
seal.
Makes 3 pints.

The same amount of yellow tomatoes can be
substituted using peach or apricot jello to make peach or
apricot jam.

This is real easy to do and really taste good. I have used
other flavors of jello and its still just as good.
