Just to say that I'm continuing to really enjoy both of your channels, this and your Annabel Margaret KZbin channel. Your videos are like an alternative to meditation for me, I find all your videos so relaxing. It wouldn't be that way if you weren't so genuine and true. So I just wanted to thank you for that and your content. As my intuition is never wrong. It's definitely unlike me to regularly watch any KZbinr. All the best, just wanted to give credit where it's due again. 😊👏

[@bethanyj250]

This looks great! Also it was amazing to see my comment in your video; I feel famous! Instead of a tea towel, several layers of cheesecloth together will be strong enough to not be flimsy, but will still give you a better strain.

[@SFlaidlaw101]

You can tell you just enjoy doing this. It's beautiful how you enjoy crafting magical creations that work with the herbs of the earth. And that you show us that we can have a daily craft practice that's easy and fun 💕

[@Clara-kg8it]

That sounds really good! I don´t really have milk-thistles where I live, but I will keep it in mind! As a note for preserving the jelly: What My mum always does when she makes jams and jellies is that she caps it off when it is still hot and then turns the jar upside down so that the cap is on the work surface. We usually let it rest overnight so that it can cool down before storing it. It helps to create a vacuum and can help to make the jam/jelly last longer, which is pretty great :)

[@kentuckylady7344]

Those green apples steaming as you brought them out of the pot and put them in the damp cloth to be squeezed I could have sworn I could smell the wonderful aroma coming from the steaming fruit. Yummmm

[@whatthejigma]

Happy Mabon to my fellow northern hemisphere folks!

[@jenniferwhite8231]

The moistened cloth is a great idea! Love that.

[@dodiekoehler5256]

Yes it is. It makes so much sense. Why didn't I think of it!?

[@vw9579]

Looks amazing. To make a crystal clear jelly, let the fruit drip through the cloth overnight instead of squeezing it.

[@SFlaidlaw101]

I feel like I have been getting a lot of uploads from you AND I LOVE IT hehehe! 💕💕💕

[@RussellSekki]

I'm so literally writing "1C apple jelly situation" in the recipe book.

[@LadyoftheFarm]

‘Good golly’ 💚 you are too cute! Loved this! I am going to do this beautious jelly 🙏🍏🍏🍏

[@KiraHelenRose]

I would maybe try a nut milk bag for squeezing the apples next time.

[@jenniferwhite8231]

I’m so glad it worked out! Did it congeal fully or stay somewhat loose? I’m excited to try something similar. ❤️

[@theywhodwellhere]

I'll be making this at the week end. Thank you for capturing and sharing this process. I always enjoy your films and feel motivated afterwards. If my home wasn't filled with drying flowers, weeds, berries, fruits foraged it would feel so empty and ungrounded. Safe travels back.

[@peggynorton5535]

Now I need to do this, and make homemade bread. I made watermelon jelly a few years back, the most beautiful color and tastes amazing. My grandsons loved it.

[@donutsanonymous]

I am so glad I found your channel Annie! I have always been attuned to nature, crystals, and my intuition but only just recently started getting into Witchcraft. Witchcraft and Wicca were "bad words" in my household growing up as I was raise in a southern baptist home. As I have grown into adulthood and separated myself from those beliefs, I have started exploring the beauty of Witchcraft and viewing Earth as the Goddess she is. :) I am still discovering my interests and core crafts, but I am really enjoying seeing your process. I would love if all types of witches would share their processes like you are. Thank you for the education and for the sneak peek into your practices!

[@da2357]

I’m so glad it worked out great for you! How much did it jell up and set before you started gobbling it up?

[@TheRavenLilian]

I was so excited to see you were boiling the apples whole, because that is how I make apple sauce! I boil them whole, about two pounds, till they are fork tender. Then I let them cool and peel them. Cut away all the meat into a separate pot and add water just to cover. Boil them and mash them at the same time until I get a good consistency. Then just add sugar to taste; usually less than a spoonful. I'm do glad it worked out this time for you. Experimenting can be fun, but frustrating. The successes make it all worth it though.

[@08pepperdog]

Would have been nice to see the final result after setting.

Have you ever worked with Pinapple Sage? I have a bunch growing in my garden I would like to make a syrup or possibly some jam. Would I make a syrup first to make the jam? I'm new to making both.

Is that your artwork behind you, KZbin is like a store window, please show more, I don want to press my face against my hands to see through the glass, what a wonderful picture?

[@sunwarz]

I’ve been making many batches of apple jelly for years , I’ve never thought of adding things like milk thistle? I’ve added other things jalapeño peppers and other things to make jellies for chicken or pork or beef toppings but adding wild herbs is a wonderful change! By the way with a few easy steps your jelly could be crystal clear and set very well by hanging your jelly bags or an old clean tshirt or pillowcase over night and not squeezing them! For making real jelly it’s a good idea to have a candy thermometer when you reach 220 deg f. I know if you start time ing from the time it begins to boil it should be about 20 to 25 minutes with 4 cups of liquid , it should be ready! But knowing the actual temp is key, Hope this helps with your next batch! Xoxoxo love your channel I’ve been a fan for a very long time!

[@kismet6967]

Hey Annie I hope you are doing awesome but you won’t probably see this comment but is there a type of spell for finding or summoning??? because my cat has been missing for 3 days and I miss him so much and I want to know if you know something that could help I tried posters and everything but I miss my kitty so much I hope you see this I love your content and you’ve helped me with my witchcraft journey as a witch. P.S. I’m a baby witch Ily

[@eb_nee]

Hello! I love your videos. They have been a source of inspiration and reconnecting back to practices make my soul feel love and at home 🥰 I was just curious about what your intention was for making this jelly. What magikal properties does milk thistle have to you? I would love to know and hopefully I can incorporate milk thistle into my own practice as well. Thank you!

[@juliai3956]

When life gives you thistles, make jelly. Thanks for figuring out this awesome recipe.

[@longarmsupplies]

Goodness! I've been making jam and herbal things for years and I've never heard of milk thistle jam. Hope to try some this summer! Thanks for posting this. I love your "intentional" way of working. Most just bang around the ktichen getting things done in a rush and the mood you create, along with the intention you're adding to your creations make me love your videos...they are so relaxing to watch.

[@wildwoman8494]

I can't have apples. Can you use another fruit for the pectin? Say a berry like strawberry? Blessed be. - White witch.

[@hamidamahmud53]

Your videos are so therapeutic. I watch them while drinking my herbal tea.

[@Cailyn_Amanda]

I wonder if an unbleached muslin cloth would work well for squeezing the apples. It's a somewhat loose weave without being like cheese cloth. Plus unbleached muslin is inexpensive, so it's accessible for a lot of people. Might be worth a shot for anyone making the jelly! I will have to be on the lookout for milk thistle, since I live in a city it might be difficult to find.

[@laurenritchie6463]

I'm very Interested in learning the craft. Thanks so much for the awesome videos.

[@angstyintellectual4960]

Hey I've been loving your videos for quite some time but I've never been this early. Hiii!!!

[@rebbeccachrismer8016]

How much water do we add to the pot of apples?! Also do you gently mash the apples in the pot it get aggressive before replacing to the stove for the 2nd cooking?!

[@babsmasters8569]

Would love to see you do a few videos on herbal crafts to help with headaches/Migraines. You making the comment that you have one in this video made me think of it.

[@anoegenetic7339]

Any alternative recommendations for those of us who can't eat apples?

[@maguritegeist6231]

This was a joy to watch as we are in a drought and no green to be found let alone flowers or thistle so I picked up some green apples at the local store and plan to make some version of baked raisin cinnamon and apple 🍏 after the split pea soup is finished… I hope your headache goes far far away… maybe sip water for awhile….

Lovely 😊 I find letting the blossoms herbs sit out over night helps let the bugs evacuate before they end up in the brew 😊

[@wendystone9222]

My dog shakes there head a lot because the other dog licks the ears a lot I haven't found a way of stopping them so that's why we get a lot of dog hair every where I'm not saying whether there boys girls or what bread because there's a lot of dog napping going on in the UK at the moment so check your lamp posts or telephone polls for cable ties that's telling the dog nappers that there are dogs to steal in the area

[@trixiekay22]

This looks like it's so much fun to do!! Have you ever made a rose jelly?? I just started following you in recent months so if you already have a video on it I probably haven't come across it yet ☺ but I really enjoyed this and your floral syrups video from a while back too 💖

I’ll never get used to how shiny American’s grocery’s fruits are

[@DandisDen]

Its because in the West we tend to wax our fruit (its why we're pushed to wash our fruits before eating). Its to make them more appealing and 'perfect' looking. You can get apples in bags, that aren't waxed and have imperfections on them.

[@dannydonnelly8198]

@@DandisDen Not entirely true, non organic apples do have wax on them, you're right about that but it's used for preservation. A waxed apple is usually grown in a different country with cheap labor and shipped by cargo. Some may be months old before the get on the shelf.

The plant itself has this property, yes, but it's also an invasive weed so landscapers are required by law to spray herbicide on it or physically remove it. You need to be careful were you're getting it from.

A beautiful recipe for warm sourdough bread on a snowy, ice cold winter day. I like it because it is so simple and pure, unlike the turbulence of canning which disrupts the energy and spirit of the food. I have your book "The Green Witch" but cannot find the green drink on your counter in this video (9:47). Which book is that drink recipe in? Or could you post it here? Thank you. C

Hello :) I have thistle at home... it looks really close to yours but I'm not sure. I don't know plants well yet. Are there different types of thistles? I'd like to know in case I want to try the recipe. I wouldn't want to risk using anything toxic or things like that. Thanks !

[@chakralove]

Looks amazing! Thank you for milk thistle jelly recipe! Enjoy!!

I'm sort of tempted to take this recipe, and use my fave peach juice instead of milk thistle. I love apple and peach together and I think that would make a great jam/jelly.
