Sort and wash apples and remove stems. Do not core. Cut the fruit into small pieces. Add 1 cup of water to each pound of chopped apples. Cover the kettle and bring to a boil. When the batch starts to boil, reduce heat and simmer about 25-30 minutes, until the fruit is tender but not mushy. Place contents of the kettle into a jelly bag. Let the juice drip into a clean pan. Follow the procedure under Making Jelly.
Yield: 4-5 half-pint jars.

Spiced apple jelly can be made by adding a few whole spices to the cooking apples. Added spice should be tied up in a cloth bag. Crabapple jelly may be made by this procedure.
