Blackberry Apple Jelly image

August is the busiest month of the year on our small farm-that's when we're harvesting sweet corn, pumpkins and pickling cucumbers for our stand. But I always make time to put up this jelly. The apples come from our old-fashioned orchard, while the blackberries grow wild along our creek...and the jelly's usually gone by January! -Liz Endacott, Matsqui, British Columbia

This recipe is a waste of time. The jelly never set, even after I cooked it for hours.

I had some trouble getting the jelly to set. I think I might have overcooked it.
