I made this apple rosemary jelly 3 months ago from apple scraps. I opened it just now to find what essentially looks like rock candy inside? I can’t remember what recipe I used but it was from a canning book.

This means your sugar content was somewhere north of 62 brix, and is pretty normal. Warm water will hold more sugar, and as it cools the sugar will fall out of solution and make these pretty (but annoying) crystals.
