Directions

  1. Rinse the pots and lids with very hot water and let them drain upside down on a clean dishcloth. ≈ 2 min
  2. Squeeze the lemon. ≈ 3 min
  3. Pour in the cider, cinnamon stick, lemon juice, and gelatine into a saucepan.
  4. Bring to a boil quickly.
  5. Once the jelly thickens (3-4 minutes), whisk it several times and perform the test: a few drops on an inclined plate should flow very slowly, like thick lava.
  6. Remove from the heat and remove the cinnamon. ≈ 3 min
  7. Fill the jars to the brim while the jelly is still very hot, close them tightly, and turn them upside down on a dishcloth for 30 minutes.
  8. Once the pots have cooled, store them.
