This New England classic doesn’t take much effort on the cook’s part. Apple cider is naturally high in sugar, and its pectin makes it gel nicely. Use the jelly as a condiment for roasted meats or toast. Look for a locally-produced cider, such as Rockridge (Country or Tart varieties) or Lattin's Country Cider Mill.
1 gallon natural apple cider
Transfer the apple cider to a large soup pot and bring to a boil. Cook at a strong simmer for about 3 hours, or until all that liquid has reduced to about a cup and a half. Strain the liquid into a bowl, transfer to a jar, and refrigerate overnight.
