Tips:

Use firm, ripe apples: This will help the jelly set properly and give it a good flavor.
Choose a variety of apples: This will give the jelly a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
Wash the apples thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or bacteria.
Core and slice the apples: Cut them into thin slices so that they cook evenly.
Use a large pot: You'll need a pot that's large enough to hold all of the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low: This will help the jelly set properly.
Stir the mixture frequently: This will help prevent it from burning.
Test the jelly for doneness: To do this, place a small amount of jelly on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it's ready.
Pour the jelly into jars: Leave about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
Seal the jars: Use a hot water bath to seal the jars. This will help to prevent spoilage.
