Crab Apple Jelly Part 2

Tonight we finished making the crabapple jelly. The process included 24 hours of dripping - the unsweetened crabapple mash slowly leaking through an old pillow case. I think I'll invest in some cheese cloth for next year - it's got to be faster.

Once we had all the juice from the crabapples, the next part was pretty easy too. Measure the juice, warm it up, add sugar, cook until it makes the 'soft jelly stage' as described in the Joy of Cooking, and jar.  Aren't those jars of jelly beautiful? I only hope it jellies and doesn't make a solid cube of jelly.
