Most varieties of cooking apple are a good basis for this jelly. I particularly like Granny Smiths, but see the note on apples.

Ingredients

  • 2 kg/4 lb tart apples
  • 10 sprigs of lavender

Method

Wash the apples, cut them into chunks and put in a large saucepan. Cover with water and simmer until the apples are tender and pulpy. Strain the pulp through a jelly bag without squeezing or forcing, otherwise the jelly will be cloudy.

Measure the liquid and add 500 g/
