Ingredients

  • 3 kg Apples, rose

  • 125 ml Alcohol, Wine, White

  • 500 g Sugar, white

  • 1 kg Cranberries, fresh

Steps

  1. Thoroughly wash the apples and cut them into quarters, including the cores. Also wash the cranberries and place them together with the apples in a pot, then add about 1 liter of water. Wait for the liquid to boil, then simmer on moderate heat for another 10 minutes.

  2. Place a fine sieve over a large bowl and line it with larger pieces of cheesecloth. Pour the cooked fruit into the sieve and let it strain overnight. The next day, gently squeeze the cheesecloth, then prepare the jars for filling.

  3. Place a larger pot on the stove and pour in the apple wine and the strained liquid from the apples and cranberries. Add sugar to the pot and, while stirring constantly, wait for the liquid to boil. Cook for an additional four minutes, then prepare a cold plate and place a spoonful of the fruit mixture on it. If it sets, the jelly is ready; otherwise, extend the cooking time by a few more minutes.

  4. Once the jelly is ready, remove the pot from the heat and pour the jelly into the prepared jars, sealing them immediately. Let the contents cool to room temperature, then store the jars in a cool, dark place.

Advice

For marmalades, jellies, and jams, regular glass jars with screw tops are sufficient. Wash the jars thoroughly before use and dry them completely. If anything spills on the rim of the jar while filling, wipe it off immediately with a damp cloth. Such residues can quickly attract harmful bacteria.
