(See bottom to win a free jar)
Howdy. I attempted to make apple jelly. So I bought a bunch of apples. About 12 apples. I ate half of them the following week, had to buy more apples the next weekend, and then started making jelly. I used York apples (on right) and Fuji apples (left). I bought them from the Fair Food Philly stand in Reading Terminal Market. (read: from a local farm)
I cut up the apples. I ate some of the cores. Bonus!
Then I grated the peel of an orange, and measured out a teaspoon of cinnamon and about 8 cloves. Then I put them on this shiny metal hexagon for your viewing pleasure.
Well, in order to make apple jelly, you have to make apple juice first. So I put the apples and spices all in a big pot with some water, and boiled the apples until they were soft and floating in juice. Then I turned off the heat, and ran an errand. But when I came back, something wasn't quite right.
I mashed it around in a strainer for a bit, watching little drops of juice fall into a pan. And as I mashed, it dawned on me that it looked a lot like apple sauce.
Donde esta 'apple juice'?
Hey, life is full of unexpected surprises. I wanted some jelly for my toast, but there was no going back at this point. I guess when life gives you apple sauce, can it!
So I did.

Well, I believe I will close this little hot item give-away. Mom, you are the winner. Not because I'm cheap and want to save on shipping. But not in a million years would you have every watched or sent me that horrendous video of a t-pain song with scantily clad women. So you win.
ReplyDeleteJulia, sorry, you were a close second with 'how to train your dragon'... but it wasn't your official submittal, so.... womp.
