Oh so yummy. Stew, preserve or freeze.Wonderful for winter pies, crumbles, sponges or just to have on your cornflakes in the morning.I would give my eye teeth for them, I saw apples today $4.95 kilo, bought 2 for granddaughter's lunchbox, they were disgusting, ended up she fed them to the rabbit.

apple and mint jelly
2.5 kg cooking apples, roughly chopped ( there is no need to peel or core them ) 1.2 litres water Some sprigs of fresh mint 1.2 litres vinegar Sugar Chopped fresh mint Green food colouring (optional )
Simmer apples with water and mint sprigs until very soft, then add vinegar and simmer for another 5 mins. Strain through a jelly bag for at least 12 hours, resisting the temptation to squeeze the bag. For each 600 ml of liquid add 500g sugar, bring to boil and boil rapidly for about 10 mins or until setting point is reached. Remove from the heat and add as much chopped fresh mint as you want and a few drops of food colouring if you want green jelly ( I don't bother with that ) Let cool for 10 to 15 mins and stir to distribute the mint through the jelly before putting into jars.

When I visited a small town just before you reach Katoomba in the Blue Mountains in the 80's there was a village fete with great stuff these old dears had made, & one of these were jars of Apples Jelly which you use like a jam. I'm sure if you look it up you'll find a recipe, but we all bought some & loved it!

I was given a bag of Cox's apples.I stewed some, no liquid.When they were cooked I stirred in a packet of lemon jelly.Made this into an Apple Shortbread with ice cream for dessert.
