Hi -

Today I made apple jelly from the Blue Ball book.
The recipe calls for making apple juice, and then to that
adding sugar and lemon juice. I made the mistake of putting
the sugar and lemon juice in with the apples while making the
juice. So after filtering the juice out of the apple/sugar/
lemon mixture, I added another cup of sugar and the juice from
another one and a half lemons, and then proceeded with the
recipe. The entire batch made 8 4oz. jars.

What do you think? If you don't think it'll be safe, do you
have any ideas for using up 4 cups of apple jelly this week?

Another question...a few weeks ago I made pear jelly. I
liked it, but if I make it again I'd like to add pear liqueur
and cinnamon to it. Would the alcohol cause any problems?

And what if I reduce the juice to concentrate the flavor?
Can I still just follow the recipe as long as I use the same
proportions of reduced juice, sugar and lemon?
Thanks!
