3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus...
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 cup clear jel(tm)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup cold water
3/4 cup apple juice

6 qt sliced fresh apples
5 1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tbsp cinnamon
2 1/2 cup cold water
5 cup apple juice
3/4 cup bottled lemon juice
1 tsp nutmeg (optional)
7 drop yellow food coloring (optional)


Directions

Quality: Use firm, crisp apples. Stayman, Golden Delicious, Rome, and
other varieties of similar quality are suitable. If apples lack
tartness, use an additional 1/4 cup of lemon juice for each 6 quarts
of slices.

Yield: 1 quart or 7 quarts

Procedure: Wash, peel, and core apples. Prepare slices 1/2-inch wide
and place in water containing ascorbic acid to prevent browning. For
more information see "Ensuring High-Quality Canned Foods".

For fresh fruit, place 6 cups at a time in 1 gallon of boiling water.
Boil each batch 1 minute after the water returns to a boil. Drain,
but keep heated fruit in a covered bowl or pot. Combine sugar, Clear
Jel(tm) , and cinnamon in a large kettle with water and apple juice.
If desired, food coloring and nutmeg may be added. Stir and cook on
medium high heat until mixture thickens and begins to bubble. Add
lemon juice and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Fold in drained
apple slices immediately and fill jars with mixture without delay,
leaving 1 inch headspace. Adjust lids and process immediately
according to the recommendations in Table 1. See Table 2 for
suggested quantities.

The History of Recipes Recipes as an idea can be traced back into history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals. In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `wonderful`. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something we still use today. He also recounts how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example basil, mint and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site.
