Homemade Pectin Recipe


   
Recipe Categories: Preserves
Average Rating: (5 votes)
Yield: 1 servings
 
Ingredients
    Underripe Granny Smiths,  
    Pippins, green apples;  
    Washed and cut into eighths  
    (do not core or peel)  
  2  c Water for each pound of  
    Apples  
 
Instructions
 
  1. Place the apples and water in a large stockpot or soup kettle, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes or until apples are tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

 
  2. Pour the pulp and juice through a jelly bag or line a large bowl with dampened cheesecloth, pour the pulp and juice through, gather the corners of the cheesecloth, and tie in a knot. Suspend from a cabinet knob or handle and allow to drip into a bowl overnight.

 
  3. The next day, measure the apple juice and pour into a large pot. Bring to a boil voer high heat and cook until reduced by half. Refrigerate and use within 4 days or pour into containers and freeze for up to 6 months.

 
  4. An easy way to determine reduction is to measure the depth of the liquid in the pan with a plastic ruler before boiling. Re-measure as liquid reduces. No need to pour into measuring cup!
