Instructions
- Wash apples, core and slice apple and add them plus the water in a 6 quart or larger slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or until the apples are mushy.
- Line a colander with cheesecloth and place the cooked apples with a slotted spoon into the cheesecloth lined colander.
- Gather up the corners of the cheesecloth and tie in a knot. Hang the cheesecloth with the apples inside over a large bowl and allow the drain until no more juice comes out.
- Measure out 6 cups of the apple juice and add it back into the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour.
- In a bowl combine the sugar and pectin mix it together. Slowly add this mixture to the apple juice in the slow cooker. Stirring until dissolved.
- Recover and continue to cook on HIGH for 30 minutes.
- Carefully transfer mixture to a large pan and place on the stove-top.
- Turn stove to high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil that cannot be stirred away.
- Test jelly mixture to see if it gels by dipping a cold metal spoon into the hot jelly. If it sheets off the spoon it is done.
- Ladle the hot jelly mixture into sterilized 8 ounce jelly jars and secure lids and rings until finger tight.
- At this point your can process the jelly in a water bath canner for 10 minutes (adjusting time for sea level) OR you can store the jars unprocessed in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
- Jelly will thicken as it cools and may take a while to fully gel.

Thanks for stopping by and we will see you monday!
Am new at this. Is it ok to use liquid pectin?
That should be OK Jana.
How many 8oz jars does this recipe make?
What happens to the apple mush? I’m sure you don’t just throw it out. Can that be canned also?
You probably could can it or turn it into applebutter. Or feed it to your chickens…
Do you can It after it sets over night
No you can it straight away while still hot.
I done this recipe and my jelly didn’t thickened is their something else I can do to make it thicken
You may need to cook it longer Jaime
I apologize if this is a silly question, but when you remove the apples with a slotted spoon…and then measure out the 6…is the remaining liquid (that the apples were cooked in) also run through the cheesecloth and THEN the 6 cups are measured? Or does it remain in the crock pot and the juice removed from the pulp is added back to it?
The juice measured out in this recipe is from the mushy cooked apples that you strain in cheesecloth. However, if you don’t have enough juice from the apples you can use some of the liquid that is remaining in the slow cooker.
Okay, thank you!! I’m excited to give this recipe a try!!
Can I cook the apples in the Crock-Pot on high to shorten the time or will that effect it later?
Hi Heather, You can cook the apples in the slow cooker.
