840ml water about 600g sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice Remove the rowan berries from their stalks and rinse thoroughly. Wash and roughly chop the apples – no need to peel or core them, as the pectin in the peel and cores will help the jelly to set. Put the apples, rowan berries and water into a large pan and bring to the boil, then simmer gently for about 45 minutes until the fruit is very soft. Allow to cool a little, then pour into a jelly bag suspended above a
clean, large pan. Leave overnight to strain. Measure the strained juice and return to the pan with the lemon juice and the sugar – allow 600g sugar for 800ml juice. Heat very gently, stirring continuously until all the sugar has dissolved. Then turn up the heat and boil rapidly until the setting point is reached – this should take about 10 minutes. To test if the jelly has reached setting point, put a teaspoonful onto a chilled plate and pop in the fridge for a minute or two – if the jelly is ready, it will appear more solid and will
crinkle slightly when pushed with a finger. If setting point has not been reached, continue to boil rapidly and keep testing every two minutes to see if the jelly is ready. Pour into warm, sterilised
jars and cover with lids or cellophane covers. Label and store in a cool, dry place for up to a year.
