Old Fashioned Home Made Jelly

Tweet

I could have put this discussion in the topic of 'making money', but I chose cooking instead. I've come up with another way to add extra income for us during our retirement. We have several fruit trees in our yard. We have three apricot trees, two peach trees and a pear tree. We planted an apple tree this year, Red Delicious. We also have a nice pecan tree. Every year, we have so much fruit, after I freeze, can and make pies and cobblers, I sell the excess fruit. Each year I make pretty good money. I've decided this year, I'm going to make jelly and preserves, put it in nice jars with labels and I'm going to sell it as jelly and preserves instead of selling the fresh fruit. In the meantime, I'm going to be testing jelly and preserve recipes, so I'm looking for your best tasting jelly and preserves recipes for peaches, apricots, pears and apples. If you have a good recipe please share it with me.
