Apple Jelly- Mrs [Shire?] Pare the apples, cut them in quarters, & take out the core, stew them over the fire in a jar covered up close with one quart of water to a peck of apples when thoroughly stewed pour them into a jelly bag & let them drain near the fire all night. To every pint of juice add a pound of loaf sugar, bruised sifted & made hot & put it in after the juice has been boiled & skimmed clean with the white of an egg well beat, to every 3 quarts of juice, let it boil 5 minutes after the sugar is in & then milk warm, pour it into moulds or pots it will keep 12 months.
