Gelée De Pommes, Jelly Of Apples

Peel and slice Golden Pippins, according to what quantity of Jelly is required; boil them to a Marmalade with a little Water, and a Lemon sliced, and sift the Juice through a pretty fine Sieve: The proportion is, about a pint of this Juice to a pound of Sugar, prepared au gros Boulet (eleventh Degree); simmer together on a slow Fire till it quits the Spoon clean, by dropping it out of it; then put it into Pots or Glasses. - Other sorts of Apples also serve for Jelly, done in a different manner: Peel any kind of sharp Apples, cut them into slices as the last, wash them in several Waters, then boil in a good deal of Water, the Pot being covered until it is much reduced, and becomes glutinous; strain the Decoction in a thin Linen Cloth, measure it, and refine as much clarified Sugar to the twelfth Degree, (viz. au Casse) and pour the Juice gently into it; boil a moment, then take it off the Fire to skim it; boil it again, till it comes to the same Consistence as the last, and prove it in the same manner.

N. B. It is to be observed, that as these Jellies are directed to be done much in the same nature as the Marmalades, that the difference must be observed in sifting the different sorts of Fruits, not to force the gross fleshy particles, rather only the Juices, which make the Jellies clearer, and ought for that purpose to be strained in Linen Cloths, rather than any kind of Sieves.
