It may be as well to up the amount of apple or use jam sugar.

We experimented with the residue in the jelly bag by pressing it through a sieve. Result: an intensely smooth and well-flavoured puree. Labour-intensive but worth the effort! Great website - only recently found you. Have tried beetroot pickle recipes too and am really pleased with those. Thank you! I made the jelly for the first time and am thrilled with the results.

Was a bit impatient and didn't set properly at first but i reboiled and it has now set a treat. First time making a fruit jelly and a bit of a learning curve but so worth it. Will be trying the runner bean recipes next as the glut commences. Just made the blackberry jelly and it is fab – a true taste of summer.

I'm guessing it should say "measure" the juice. The only definition I can find in the dictionary for Mease is "five hundred herring" and I'm sure it's nothing to do with that!!!
