Tips and Advice

1. Sterilizing the jars : Before pouring the jelly into jars, make sure to sterilize them thoroughly by immersing them in boiling water for 10 minutes. This will ensure better preservation and prevent contamination.

2. Prevent maple syrup from crystallizing : During cooking, stir the mixture gently and regularly to prevent the maple syrup from crystallizing. Do not cook at too high a temperature.

3. Add spices for extra flavor : For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a vanilla bean or cinnamon stick to the mixture while it simmers. Remember to remove them before jarring.

4. Managing the consistency : If the jelly is too runny after cooking, let it cool a little and then simmer it for a few more minutes. Be careful not to cook it for too long, however, as this could alter the texture.

Variants

1. Apple Cinnamon Jelly : Add 1-2 cinnamon sticks to the pan while cooking for a jelly with warm, spicy notes. Remove sticks before jarring.

2. Apple and Pear Jelly : Replace half of the apple juice with pear juice for a subtly sweet combination. This mix creates a slightly different texture, while retaining the natural sweetness of the fruit.

3. Apple Lemon Jelly : Add the juice of half a lemon for a touch of tartness that balances the sweetness of the maple syrup. This will also add a slight freshness to the jelly.

4. Spicy Apple Jelly : For a spicy version, stir a pinch of cayenne pepper or ground ginger into the mixture. This variation will add a surprising little kick of heat.
