Apple Jelly

[jackie j]

I am making apple jelly, cooked the apples to a pulp as per recipe, put into jelly bag, the pulp is quite thick and unless I squeeze it through its goning to take forever instead of overnight. Suggestions please. Its a bit like apple sauce at the moment.

A bit more water Jackie? I had to do this with blackcurrant jelly as it was setting in the straining bag.
Watch you dont add too much or you will end up with coulis (like me!)
Sure there will be a better solution along soon

Thanks Carol I have added a bit more but dont want to overdo it. Recipe said 1 pint per 2lb fruit, I had just over 3 lb fruit so added just over 1 and 1/2 pints.

Patience, Jackie, patience!! If you squeeze the bag you will get a cloudy jelly. Oh! it's lovely to be back!!

Too late she cried lol will put it through the bag again but its still hanging and not dripping as far as i can see. I think it was way too thick.
