Okay next up on my apple recipes is this Easy Cinnamon Apply Jelly! I never knew how simple it was to make jelly, and now I am in love. This apple jelly recipe only requires four ingredients and some refrigerator time. So if you have an abundance of apples like I do, try this jelly for something new.

This Easy Cinnamon Jelly is great spread on biscuits, English Muffins, my apple muffins, or I even made apple pancakes and drizzled this on top. I also served it drizzle over apple pie, too! To be completely honest the texture of this was between a jelly and a syrup that I wasn’t even sure what to call it. If I had let it boil a little longer it would have been jelly fore sure. Either way, everyone who tried it loved it.

How to Make this Cinnamon Apple Jelly Recipe

Step 1: Cook the apples

First start by roughly chopping the apples; no need to core or peel. Then put the apples in a pot or dutch oven and just cover with water.

Bring the water to a boil and boil until the apples are very soft. Leave to cool slightly.

Step 2: Strain and refrigerate

Next line a strainer with the cleaned and rinsed cheesecloth (any open weave cloth will do).

Then place the strainer over a bowl big enough to catch the liquid and pour the apple mixture into the strainer.

Cover with plastic wrap and Leave covered overnight or for at least six hours.

Then remove the strainer. Do not squeeze the cloth if a nice clear jelly is wanted.

Step 3: Measure the liquid

The next step is to measure the remaining liquid. For every cup of liquid, add one cup of sugar. I used 10 apples which yielded me 3 cups of liquid, so I used 3 cups of sugar.

Step 4: Boil liquid and sugar

Place the liquid and sugar in a preserving pan or pan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.

Let the mixture continue to boil with the lid off.

Step 5: Bottling the Apple Jelly

To test if the jelly is ready, place a teaspoon of jelly onto a saucer and leave to cool; if a skin forms, the jelly is ready. I didn’t wait long enough so mine was more of a syrup texture but I liked it. (I don’t have nay patience).

Then pour the jelly into jars. Process if you would like or store in the refrigerator or freeze.

I have had mine in the refrigerator for a few weeks now and it is still good. We just had it drizzled over a smoked pork tenderloin and it was great! So many ways to enjoy this apple jelly recipe, I hope that you do and let me know how you like it!
