  4. Add the peeled, cored, and sliced apples to the kettle. Cook until the apples are tender, approximately 20 minutes.
  5. Stir in the sugar completely until dissolved.
  6. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and cook until the jelling point is reached.
  7. Ladle the hot marmalade into sterilized jars and cover immediately.
  8. Process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes if long-term storage is desired.
