100% would make again

With a hint of apple and cinnamon, this jelly spreads cheer from breads to bagels to muffins. Its rosy pink color looks lovely blushing through the food jars I save and decorate with fabric-covered lids.

Absolutely the prettiest and tastiest jelly ever. "Dressed up," this homemade goodie is perfect for your friends and family on your gift-giving list. Try tying an old-fashioned spoon on the jar with red-and-white checked gingham - splendid!
