If you want to have a delicious jelly that is a beautiful color try this one from Mrs. Elmer Kessler, Bourbon, Ind.
QUINCE-APPLE-CRANBERRY JELLY
Twelve red apples
Six quince
One pound cranberries
Sugar
Do not peel the fruit; cut out bad spots and cut up. Cook until mushy in water to cover fruit 3 inches above. Strain through a jelly bag. Measure juice and add one cup of sugar for each cup of juice. Cook until it jells. Put in glasses and seal with paraffin.
More Recipes For You To Enjoy:My mother in law used to make a quince jelly recipe called paradise jelly-it used quinces apples and cinnamon candies to make it red. Would you have a recipe like that?
This sounds delicious – however, the paraffin method is rather antiquated and doesn’t protect against bacteria. Best bet is to put in a water bath.
“method is antiquated” All part of the charm on a vintage recipe site:O)
Charm is nice except when you’re barfing your guts out from contamination. I’m glad I know about hot water baths for these jams and jellies. Recipe looks great!
I have a similar recipe from a past neighbor named Ida, called Paradise Jelly. It used 1/3 quince, 1/3 apple and 1/3 cranberry juice. 6 cups juice and six cups sugar and a regular box of Sure Jell. Great taste and beautiful red color.
