Select perfect fruit, wash, cut out all imperfect parts, remove stems and cores, and put in a kettle with cold water to cover. Boil slowly till apples are soft. Strain through a jelly bag, and suspend the bag to drip over night. Next morning, add the juice to that in the kettle, boil twenty minutes, add an equal amount of heated sugar. Let boil ten minutes, skim and turn into glasses. A few quinces added to apples make a delicious jelly. A rose geranium leaf placed in the bottom of a glass before pouring the apple jelly in it, will impart a delightful flavor. A drop of oil of cinnamon put in apple jelly is much liked by many. A handful of cherry leaves thrown into apple jelly while boiling will give the jelly a perfect cherry flavor. The leaves may be removed after boiling about twenty minutes.
