I made about 40 bottles of this, it was sooooo easy. We got so many apples from neighbors that I had more apples than I knew what to do with. We played around with them a lot; apple oatmeal (my personal favorite), apple cider, apple pancakes, apple pb&j's, etc. I also have a pie crust that is really good, and you can mix part of it, and store it up to a year. I will put that up later. Enjoy!

6 quarts fruit
7 C sugar
1 3/4 C clear jell (I found it at my health food store)
3 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cloves
2 tsp vanilla
**variation for cherry pie filling is to swap out the last 4 ingredients for
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp almond extract**
9 C cold water
1/2 C lemon juice

Combine sugar, & clear jell in a large pan. Add water, & extract whisking together (will be lumpy) Heat on med. until boiling, stirring constantly. Add lemon when thickness is just right. Boil for 1 min. Fold in fruit, & fill bottles. Water bath for 40 min.
