The bakery where I work sold apple pies for Thanksgiving, so naturally we generated a lot of peels and cores. We composted most of them, but I brought some home to make apple jelly and it might be the prettiest thing I’ve ever canned 🥲 (I just used the recipe that came inside the pectin box)

It looks magical.
But also slightly like it was made using the evil queens poison apple
I did this for the first time this year. I made apple pie filing to can and stumbled upon a jelly recipe that used the skins a cores I had left. The result was amazing. I loath store apple jelly, but the one I made was SO good. I didn’t even need to use pectin. The cores and skins are high enough in pectin for the jelly to set on its own.
Pro tip: sub the water in this jelly with apple cider if you can get it locally. Total game changer.
