Sorry to be missing you all lately. Back injury, attempts at piano, attempts at knitting, and processing those lovely apples pilfered? scavenged? around the Mystic. We now have fifteen jars of the most beautiful ruby colored jelly in the larder. Since I decided not to use commercial pectin, I cut the sugar requirement by almost half. The results: !zing! tart flavor, richer coloring, a slightly runnier consistency. Happily, too, all the jars sealed.
