1 T. lemon juice
l pkg pectin powdered
4 C. sugar
2 tsp. nutmug
it was just tooo sweet, and was more like jelly when i got done, with a FEW chunks. maybe my apples were too soft. next yr, i'll try it with 1/2 that sugar, firmer apples, and just cooking it down.
I remember Grandma saying sweet apples make lousy jelly. She used only tart apples for her apple canning.
