Does anyone know if you can make herb jelly from eating apples? I'm not sure what type they are yet as a colleague is bringing some in for me but I want to make good use of them.
So far thanks to this thread, my list includes apple jam, mincemeat, apple sultana loaf and mint jelly but I'm not sure if they are suitable for eating apples (cakes are usually OK I think)

I've got a puff pastry mix in the cupboard - do you think I could make some sort of apple (and blackberry maybe) puffs or turnovers? Any ideas or tips re this as I've not made it before!
thanks

Is there anyway of drying out apples but so that they are still edible like Fruitabu apple crisps?!

Thanks to this thread, I've made apple jelly, stewed apple for the freezer for crumbles etc, spiced apple chutney and several apple crumbles!

I do have a question for anyone who has made the Spiced Apple Chutney - mine was still quite vinegary after it was made. It still tastes nice, but there is quite a powerful vinegar overtone - is it meant to be like that, or have I done something wrong? (I followed the recipe religiously).

It could just be that I've never been a chutney eater, so I don't really know how it 'should' taste :-)

Does the chutney need to mature? Some need a good few months to mellow a little and most improve with time

Hmmm, it might be that floyd, I hadn't considered that it might get better with age :-)

Apple & Cinnamon we have about 20 jars done and it is yammyyyyyyyy

* 7 cups Apples (Peeled & Cored)
* 6 cups Sugar
* 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
* 1 tsp Cinnamon


How To Make

1. Before you start, make sure that all the apples have been thoroughly washed, peeled and cored.
2. Slice up the apples finely and place in a large saucepan over a high heat.
3. Add the sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon while stirring continuously.
4. Let the mixture boil for about half an hour until thickened, removing any scum that may rise to the surface.
5. Pour the mixture into jam jars, seal and store away.

I'd like to try this, we've taken bags and bags of apples of Dad's tree this weekend and we don't have enough freezer space to stew them all down....

But....several years ago Dad exploded a bottle of stewed apple all over his kitchen - it sounded like a bomb had gone off! He'd stewed them and frozen them but took the screw top bottle out of the freezer and left it for a few days and it went off like a rocket - I guess it fermented! :rotfl:

Has anyone tried this recipe and not had to scrape the results off their kitchen ceiling
