Chop the apples, skin, seeds and all and place in a large heavy based saucepan. Add cold water to cover and bring to the boil. Boil till it is pulpy. Strain in a jelly bag (never squeeze the bag or the jelly will be cloudy) I leave it to drip overnight. Measure the juice and return to the large clean saucepan, add the lemon juice and sugar (I sometimes cheat and use sugar with added pectin) and bring to the boil. You will see the rather cloudy juice change and go the most beautiful coral colour, the alchemy of food I just love to watch happen!! Carry on boiling until setting point is reached - 105 degrees centigrade - skim if necessary and ladle into hot dry sterilised bottles. Seal immediately. You will hear the "buttons" on the lids pop in as the jelly cools. Store in a cool dark place.
