- 3Strain the cooked apple mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, reserving the juice. For each cup of juice, add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar.
- 4Cook the juice and sugar mixture over medium heat until it reaches the gelling point. This can be tested by placing a small amount of the mixture on a chilled plate; it should wrinkle when pushed with a finger. Alternatively, use a candy thermometer and cook to 220°F (104°C).
